Question

MY HYDRANGEA HAS BEEN IN THE GROUND FOR THREE YEARS AND SOME OF THE TIPS OF THE LEAVES ARE TURNING BLACK?

Answer

Did you recently have a cold snap or freeze? New leaves will react that way when there is a sudden drop in temperatures. Poor drainage can also cause black tips on leaves. And, a heavy dose of fertilizer will cause black tips. Take a look at our hydrangea guide and go through the steps for growing healthy hydrangeas. You might find some a few things to fine tune with yours to get it back on track.
