Blossoming Questions

How and when do you prune hydrangeas?

When I bought my hydrangea they dropped good I planted them in a pot big enough for them, then the flowers started to die in turn brown some of the leaves turned brown. I moved them to a spot that had a little more sun, it didn’t help so I moved it back in front of the house which gets morning sun in till noon and I clipped off all the dead stuff, put some coffee grinds and more soil and the leaves are growing back to plant looks healthy my question is will I get flowers this summer or not till next summer?

Website says to fertilize in early spring or summer so does that mean you only fertilize one time? But it also says follow instructions on label, which mine says feed every 14 days. I bought the Scots company garden pro water soluble miracid acid loving plant food. So do I only do this once or do I feed every 14 days?

My plant is mostly sticks with little greenery. What should I do?

The Summer Crush label says full sun but videos say not full sun. Can they be full sun?

Why do the blooms only flower around the edges and the buds not open in the middle?

Should I cut the almost dead flowers off?

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??

We purchased The Original this spring, but it appears to be blooming white with hints of a very light blue. Was the plant mislabeled and actually a blushing bride or does this happen with The Original?

Where should I plant my hydrangeas?
