Blossoming Questions

Did cutting flowers last year in the fall to dry in vases cause my hydrangeas to not produce any flowers this year?

If the flowers are drooping to the ground, should I prop them up with supports?

My hydrangea blossoms are very large and are turning brownish and dropping some petals. Should I cut off the blossoms to encourage new blooms? Otherwise the plants appear healthy.

I think my new flowers are getting too much sun. I have watered 2xs a day. I am in Nj. Weather is hot.

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

Is there any pruning to be done after the flowers die off?

Watering tips please!

When is a good time to plant hydrangeas in South Florida and is there a specific bloom that is hardier in this region?

Should I cut off dried up blooms to promote more flowers?

I live in Maryland (Zone 6) its mid July and my blooms are fading, is this just the natural progression of life or will my plants re-bloom. They are getting the proper amount of water and I just lightly fertilized. Anything else I can do?
