Blossoming Questions

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??

Where is the best place to plant my endless summer. I’m thinking east or south? And little more detail like 6-8 hours of morning sun?

Where on the endless summer stem do I cut the blooms when I want to use in vases or because the bloom is spent and needs to be removed?

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?

We have two hydranges that appear healthy and growing , but have never bloomed.

I purchased 1 Summer Crush which came with lots of old dead sticks. After 3 weeks of planting, I can see some new leaves growing out but very tiny. I just cut al dead sticks, I’m not sure it can grow bigger and bloom in the first year? I just feel it’s not growing.

How do I prune once the flowers turn brown during summer?

Do any hydrangeas do well in moist soil?

My endless summer hydrangea is looking a little bit wilted. Some of the flower buds are bending down. I felt the soil and it is moist. We had a thunderstorm last night with strong wind for about 1-2 hours. Could that be the reason why? Is there anything I should do at this point? Thank you and any insight is appreciated:)
