Blossoming Questions

If the flowers are drooping to the ground, should I prop them up with supports?

My hydrangea blossoms are very large and are turning brownish and dropping some petals. Should I cut off the blossoms to encourage new blooms? Otherwise the plants appear healthy.

First time with a summer crush hydrangea. Planted in most sun . Been 2 months doing great. Just wondering if should cut off the dead blooms. Or should I say discolored faded ones.?? They still look ok and I read on the tag. The less you prune the better ??? So just wasn’t sure??

Where on the endless summer stem do I cut the blooms when I want to use in vases or because the bloom is spent and needs to be removed?

I planted 5 hydrangeas and two have green wood beneath the soil, two have each one green leaf sprout. My fifth shows no sign of life! I did not cut wood down as they are only 12 inches as these were new plants – I do not see anything happening on the old wood. The buds are hard and dark brown (look dead) – they get morning sun until about 1 pm then are in the shade for the rest of the day – soil is moist but not wet and I’ve added fertilizer—is this normal for June? What else can I do to make them thrive?

How do i cut off a flower from my BloomStruck hydrangea? Where do I cut it? At the base or near the top?? Help!

I PLANTED MY HYDRANGEA AND HAD SOME FROST. THE BUDS WERE STARTING AND ARE NOW DROOPING DOWN AND SOME LEAVES ARE WILTED. SHOULD THEY BE CUT BACK?

ONLY 1 OF 4 PLANTS BLOOMED LAST SUMMER. THIS SPRING I HAVE GREEN BUDS AT GROUND LEVEL BUT NOT ON LAST YEAR’S WOODY STEMS. THE BUDS ON THE OLD STEMS ARE BROWN AND APPEAR TO BE DEAD. SHOULD I CUT THE OLD STEMS TO THE GROUND? HALFWAY? WHAT AM I DOING WRONG?

If I trim my Endless Summer^® hydrangea back to the first bud on last year’s growth, will I get this year’s bloom? Can I just prune back to shape the plant?

Do next years blossoms come on new or old growth?
