Epsoma Holly Tone is a great product. Thanks Mark, I will look for crossing branches and get that Holly Tone, nothing else has really changed, so I will cross my fingers that does the trick,.
I would definitely recommend waiting until fall or early spring when the hydrangea is growing so actively. If you do go for it just make sure you keep it watered daily. I had a very old, huge pale blue Lacecap hydrangea at my old house. In early October I just took a hedge trimmer to it, pruning it into a nice rounded shape.
It lost all its leaves once our Oregon Coast winter set in. In March I fed it once with an acid loving fertilizer, it bloomed prolifically all summer. I watered it every other day. I love Lacecaps, they seem to be a little more rugged then other hydrangeas that bloom on old wood! I have incrediball hydrangeas that we planted 2 years ago, this spring we got a very hard late frost and all green growth on them wilted and died.
Will they come back next year or will they need replaced? Incrediballs are Smooth Hydrangeas that bloom on this current years growth. You might even get some blooms this year. Thanks Mark! Should I cut any of the branches back or just let them be? Right now the bushes are just brown sticks with no green visible from branches or the ground.
I brought it in the house for the winter, watered it only occasionally and it bloomed beautifully this summer. My question is, How long can I expect it to thrive in a pot.
Will I need to transfer it to the ground eventually? Or a bigger pot? Hi Deb! Plenty of people plant hydrangeas in pots. Just make sure you use a potting mix that drains well. Also make sure the pot has drainage holes on the bottom. Can hydrangeas be split and replanted? If so when is the best time for that? I live in the Midwest. I have had good luck digging out side parts of Annabelle hydrangeas and putting them in pots until they form a better root system and some new leaves.
I have propagated about 8 new shrubs this way. Live northern Minnesota. I have Nikko Blue hydrangeas on the northeast. The foliage is good. I have usually waited until late June to cut back to see what old wood had growth.
Last year I cut it all back to about 12 in. This year foliage is coming but no buds on old wood. Are they worth salvaging or should I plant something more hardy? We had a very cold spring here this year. I feel your pain. Hi, I have endless summer hydrangeas. Last year I had maybe one or two blooms in late summer but the plants themselves were green and lush. This year the plants have gotten to a great size with a couple more blooms but they were blooming only on the undersides of the bushes.
They get hrs of good sun and are next to the eastern side of the house. The plants are on their 3rd year of growth. What am I doing wrong? I have fertilized the plants as well. Hi Cindy, It really depends on what disease or fungus your hydrangeas have, but in general Immunox is a great product that helps with a lot of foliage problems.
It is a foliage spray that can be bought for a hose end sprayer application or as a concentrate to be mixed in a tank sprayer.
My hydrangea has finished blooming but still has some Sparse blooms, however new growth is coming up on the New stems. Can I still prune it. Hi Lydia, If your blooms are starting to wind down I would prune now. Nothing too hard, just an overall shaping and deadheading of the plant. I just bought them this year and I planted them on the north side of my house you should get some sun and some shade. I need help. What advice can you give me to resurrect these plants. Thanks Bobbie. Put the garden hose on a small trickle and water the shrubs at the base for about half an hour each, every day You can just leave the hose there instead of manning it.
This will help trap in moisture. I moved into my house six years ago. What else would you recommend. Hi Anna, are you located in a cold region? You could also have deer eating the flower buds if deer are in your yard. Another possibility is you have a Panicle hydrangea which actually requires about 5 hours of sun to bloom.
If a panicle hydrangea is left in deep shade it is less likely to bloom. Lastly, you could be fertilizing with a fertilizer that has too much nitrogen. We have multiple Annabelle new wood hydrangeas. When should we prune them. One of the most asked gardening questions is, " Why didn't my hydrangeas bloom? That's because some hydrangeas bloom on what is called "old wood", or branches that are at least a year old. Others bloom on "new wood", which is the new growth of the current season. This is not a problem with the many new hydrangeas on the market.
They take the guess work out of when or if you need to prune your hydrangea, because most bloom on both old and new wood. However many of us have older hydrangea shrubs in our yards that can cause a lot of frustration when they don't bloom. Since the blooms on an older hydrangea usually depends on when it was pruned , you will need to know what type of hydrangea it is.
Here are ways to help you identify what type of hydrangea is growing in your yard with tips on simple maintenance and care. For a long time, Hills-of-Snow, or Sevenbark Hydrangea, Hydrangea arborescens 'Grandiflora' was one of the most popular pom-pom type hydrangeas grown. It has ball-shaped flower clusters that are a somewhat dull white. The flowers are not as showy as we've come to expect from hydrangeas, giving it an old-fashioned appearance. The more recent introduction, 'Annabelle', supplanted Hills-of-Snow in popularity, in the s.
Annabelle has pure white flower heads that are considerably larger than 'Grandiflora'. It blooms on new wood and can be cut back hard, in fall or early spring.
Climbing Hydrangea Hydrangea anomala petiolaris is a magnificent specimen. It will slowly make its way up a tree or support, taking a decade or more to reach maturity. However once established, it improves year after year. Climbing hydrangea does not need to be pruned at all, unless it outgrows its space.
Lacecap hydrangeas has flowers that look like a circle of unopened buds surrounded by open petals. In reality, the unopened buds are the fertile flowers with pollen and the outer flashy petals are sterile and are just there to attract bees.
Lacecap hydrangeas bloom on old wood, so you could prune after flowering, to shape and control the shrub. However after about three years, the blooming will diminish. This will encourage new growth every year, while maintaining some relatively older growth for producing flowers.
You can also prune the tips of the remaining branches, after flowering, if you want to control the size of the plant. The flower colors range from pink, blue, or purple, and in some varieties by changing the soil pH, the flower color can change. Shrub sizes range from 2 to 6 feet tall. Another type of hydrangea that blooms on old and new wood are the Mountain varieties Hydrangea serrata , which includes the Tuff Stuff series.
This variety is known for its lace-cap flower clusters that bloom in mid-summer and foliage that turns red or burgundy in the fall. Stop in today to get your strikingly gorgeous hydrangeas!
