Blossoming Questions

I have three Endless Summer Hydrangeas in different locations around my house about 20 minutes north of Chicago. The plants all seem healthy and continue to grow but have yet to produce any flowers. Back on Fourth of July weekend I gave them all Dr Earth acid lovers fertilizer hoping this would give them the boost that they needed. I have yet to see any results. Any assistance you could offer would be greatly appreciated.

When and what is the best way to remove Hydrangea blooms once they are turning brown, or cycled through their color?

I just got my endless summer how should I plant it?

One of my 3 My Endless Summer Original Blue hydrangeas completely lost all of its beautiful color. The blossoms look pale and sad. What’s going on? Watered daily and in part sun.

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??

Do I add acidic soil like a normal hydrangea?

On the west side of my house there is about a 6ft wide path between my house and the fence. We are putting in a 4ft wide interlock walkway and there will be a foot and a half space between the house to the interlock that will be soil and we’d like to plant something. Zone 5. Is this enough room to put any type of hydrangea? I love the colors.

How do I know exactly what kind of hydrangea I purchased?

I JUST RECEIVED 3 LARGE, BEAUTIFUL BLUSHING BRIDE PLANTS. I LIVE IN NYC AND HAVE TO USE CONTAINERS. CAN I USE STANDARD MIRACLE-GRO POTTING SOIL? OR DO I NEED A DIFFERENT MIXTURE? SHOULD I USE A MIXTURE FOR TREES AND SHRUBS? I WANT TO MAINTAIN THE BEAUTIFUL CREAM COLOR OF THE FLOWERS! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

HOW DO YOU CHANGE COLOR ON HYDRANGEAS?
