Blossoming Questions

I WOULD LIKE TO PLANT MY ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEAS AGAINST MY HOUSE TO APPEAR AS ONE LARGE SHRUB. THE AREA OF COVERAGE IS 12.6 FEET LONG. HOW MANY PLANTS DO I NEED AND HOW FAR APART SHOULD THE SPACING BE FOR THEM TO BLEND TOGETHER WHILE PROVIDING ENOUGH ROOM TO GROW?

IS IT NECESSARY TO COVER MY NEW HYDRANGEA TREE WHEN THE WEATHER GETS BELOW FREEZING? WHY DO THE BUDS FALL OFF SO EASILY?

I JUST RECEIVED AN ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA FOR MOTHER’S DAY. SHOULD WE PLANT IT RIGHT AWAY OR CAN WE PUT IT IN A POT? IF WE PUT IT IN A POT WHEN CAN WE PUT IT IN THE GROUND? ALSO, IN IOWA, HOW MUCH SHADE IS PARTIAL SHADE?

HOW DO I JOIN THE MESSENGER PLAN THAT MESSAGES ME WHEN TO DO WHAT WITH MY PLANTS?

WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FEEDING THE ENDLESS SUMMER HYDRANGEA? WOULD A 10-10-10 BE OK?

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?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO TRANSPLANT AN ENDLESS SUMMER THE ORIGINAL THAT IS SEVERAL YEARS OLD? I DON’T THINK ITS GETTING ENOUGH SUN TO ENCOURAGE BLOOMING.

I HAVE A BLOOMSTRUCK REBLOOMING HYDRANGEA AND IT SEEMS AS THOUGH THE BUDS HAVE DIED ON LAST YEAR’S GROWTH, BUT I DO HAVE NEW GROWTH COMING IN. SHOULD I BE WORRIED?

WHEN DO I CUT BACK MY HYDRANGEAS? SOME OF THE OLD WOOD STEMS HAVE BUDS AND OTHERS DO NOT.

I JUST BOUGHT A SUMMER CRUSH HYDRANGEA AND IT IS BLOOMING PINK. HOW DO I GET THE RASPBERRY COLOR AS SHOWN ON THE CARD WITH IT?
