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?

We have a Ninebark Amber Jubilee and would like to plant it in a large pot. Will it survive this?

When the buds turn brown what do you do it’s only July?

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 Endless Summer Hydrangea bushes are producing smaller, but many, blooms. These bushes have always produced much larger blooms which I prefer. Is there something I can do to get the larger blooms again next year? I should state we were making the mistake of cutting these bushes down to the ground each fall, so were getting very few blooms. Last year we did not cut them back at all and I have plenty of blooms but small in size. Hoping there is a way to get lots of the big ones again!

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

We transplanted an older hydrangea from my uncle’s property, so it hasn’t been cared for in several years. It is pretty wild and all over the place! How can I care for this best? Should I trim? fertilize?

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

My Endless summers are doing well but have branches sticking up that don’t have leaves or buds. Should I cut these branches?
