Blossoming Questions

Can a summer crush hydrangea live in zone 7? Shade in the morning sun in afternoon.

Once the flower ball is dying off, can I cut “dead head” the flower off of the stem and how far should I cut?

Is it ok to use different hydrangeas in your flower bed?

Why do my blooms look burnt?

Why do they look burnt after planted in ground?

What type of fertilizer should I use on my hydrangea?

Did cutting flowers last year in the fall to dry in vases cause my hydrangeas to not produce any flowers this year?

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.

I think my new flowers are getting too much sun. I have watered 2xs a day. I am in Nj. Weather is hot.
