Question

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?

Answer

Endless Summer hydrangeas bloom on both old and new wood. Though the early flush of flowers are fading, there should be additional flower buds coming on. It sounds like you are doing the right things for a second flush. Take a look at our planting and care guide for additional tips. And, check out my deadheading hydrangeas video to be certain you aren’t trimming off future flower buds.
