Wow, what a difference coming back to an older video compared to current ones. You have changed so much.
Thank You so much dearest sweeties 💐🙏 You’re such an inspiration ❣️ Stay Blissful Eternally 😇🕉💖
thank you! that was very informative. great tips.
Thank you for this video and information!!
THANK YOU VERY MUCH 👍🏻👍🏻 YOU ARE THE BEST! Straight to the Point! Love it!!
I've been racking my brain to figure out what happened to my hydrangeas this year. I mentioned to my husband that they bloom on old wood. Once I explained what that meant he said..."Oh. That would be why they didnt bloom. I cut them back." 😆 I was so relieved to know what happened that i couldnt get mad. 🤣🤣🤣 Looking forward to next year!
When I first purchased my home I cut all the hydrangeas down not knowing I was cutting all the new blooms. It’s been two years since that big chop and no blooms at all. But the bush grows huge and looks healthy. But no blooms. So so sad.
Wonderfully done, I am in Australia under the snowline. Like these easy plants and know that they are still in fashion. Dears are close by but my fencing is done. Nice video for sure!

I'm so sad. I think I screwed up when pruning last year. I bought the hydrangeas with flowers and I have buds this year but it's really spotty. I have a couple of them with NO buds on half the plant. ☹️
Very helpful. Thank you.
Great video. Thank you. I just bought 2 white "rose" hydrangea. Had them where it received 6 or more hours of sun. But it looked like the leaves were getting sun burned. So now I moved it to a more shady spot. I will keep an eye to make sure its 4 to 6 hours of morning sun. My yard isnt too shady so not sure where to put them. I love them. They are so pretty. I am hoping to keep them for a long time.
Love your videos! Thanks for the education! Its sooo helpful!!! I need to send you pics of everything I've done since starting your videos!
So at a loss on this. So confusing but I’ll keep reading and watching videos
Thanks again Laura!
Great video thank you!
Great info - thanks!
I have a small front yard so I've been cutting my 5 hydrangea right to the ground late fall early winter (Vancouver). Most have an excellent bloom late July early August but there's two that have nothing. They're super healthy and still look nice but it would be nice to get them all blooming.
Thanks for shareing

Great video thank you for sharing. Im zone 9b and starting a new hydrangea garden.
Your video on hydrangea types focused on the flower appearance to ID the type... My hydrangea isn't blooming (hence me watching this video) so how am I supposed to know when to prune to make more blooms and keep it healthy?
My hydrangea flowers are strong and in full bloom but the leaves all dried up and fell off!😪 Your valuable info. will be much appreciated please. I bought the 5 gallon pots this year and put them in 20" pots - with morning sun. (because of vole problems) Thank you good lady!!

I have Endless Summer hydrangeas that bloomed so beautifully for several years. BUT, in fall, my husband was cutting them back after they were frosted over and the leaves turn black to within about a foot from the ground. The WHOLE plant!!! The greenery grows back to huge wide bushes, but not one flower comes back anymore.
Hi, l live in NY City, I have a hydrangea Macrophylla (I learned how to ID it from your video :)). It has been blooming nicely yearly, and I took it for granted, I never prune nor fertilizer it, it get it nutrition from the fertilizer of the lawn. But, my son prune it down, ever since, it has not bloomed for two years. I added bone meal. Please advice.
If you have deer issue, take Irish spring soap and use a vegetable peeler and put scraps through out. Deer hate the smell!!! I did this to keep them out of my morning glories and hostas.
What's the best hydrangea for full shade. I have a spot under two Silver Maples in zone 5?I think my endless summers aren't coming back.

Thank u so much. I was gonna move mine..thought it may get too much sun, but I think isn't. I have a ( hydrangea peegee. Pink. (Paniculata)? Have u heard of this. I had not. Been in ground for 3 years and not one bloom. Gets morning sun. Shade in day a little in afternoon.
I have a 2ft tall nikko blue hydrangea plant in a large pot kept on my patio can I bring this plant in for the winter as our winter temperatures goes as low as -30c
what is the max temperature hydrangea can tolerate? in winter we get about 7-8degree Celsius and in summer around 45degree Celsius. can I grow them at my place?
Can you please do a video on how to maintain hydrangeas in pots ? Also can we have them indoors throughout the year ?
I have a lime light hydrangea, I noticed some of its leaves look really wrinkled. Could this be caused by a disease, leaf curl?

I have a strawberry hydrangea and It's two years old, maybe 3. I need to move it. When can I move it? Is now the best time? I live in Iowa so it has not started growing yet. I probably ruined it. I had to cut the flowers off because my neighbors don't take care of their yards. The city has fined them twice. Spider webs came over the fence from all their mess grown up and covered my hydrangea. I had to cut all that off. The blooms are shaped like a strawberry but the color is gorgeous. I don't want to lose it. Thank you.
Love your vids 😊 P.s thx

Can I prune hydrangeas that grow on old wood?
Hi - your videos are very helpful, thank you. I bought a house with some hydrangeas in the front. I think they are an older variety (old wood blooming only). I notice in the spring that when new growth comes in there are always a lot of bare sticks jutting up. They are very ugly, If the plant has lots of green leafing at the base can I cut out any wood that has nothing going on? Thank you.
@gardenanswer

Do the sticks have any growth at all on them? If it looks like they have buds, I would give them extra time because that's where you will get the blooms (if they are the type that bloom on old wood). You can also use your finger nail (or your clippers) to gently scrape the top layer of bark off a branch in a little spot- if you see green, there is still life in the stems and they may leaf out yet, but if it all looks brown you can cut them out. If there doesn't appear to be any new growth forming, the hydrangea might just have experienced too hard a winter, and you can cut them back. Good luck! :)
any ideas of why my hydrangea not blooming. I live in the country of Belize central america, and i have a big leaf hydrangea (H. macrophylla) and the tree is healthy. when i bought it from the nursery it was full of blooms but i have had it in a pot for and year now. it has gotten tripple the size and big lush leaf keep growing and no blooms. I have some in shaded area (1-4 hrs sun) and some in sun (at least 7 hrs sunlight) but still no blooms. I use miracle grow bloom booster fertilizer and miraacid fertilizer. I talk to them and tell them to get blooming for me ( hahaha) but still no bloom. I am desperate since i am so anxious to see them blooming what can i do

A Z Do not be pressured into committing "Crepe Murder!" That is don't cut them back drastically. Remove the spent heads after blooming and then shape them as you see fit. Some people severely cut the branches back and that creates an unnatural growing pattern with the plant. You can find proper pruning techniques on KZread. Good luck and enjoy!

Hi there sweety
I can't even buy hydrangeas here in Tampa. Can someone recommend a reputable online site? Thanks!
I live in Southern Ontario Canada and only had one year of pink coloured hydrangeas then turned blue. Lost the little card that came with it so don’t know what kind it is. This year June 2nd, 2022 only twigs, no leaves or buds in them. Is it dead if it is I will throw it out. Hydrangeas I just live but not good at growing them. Oh it’s also inside a planter pot which has drainage. I guess I killed it. 😔
Every time I buy my hydrangea it die ver y fast. I live in tropical place but is cool all year. Thanks

Hi there, not sure if someone can help me. I have a limelight hydrangea and it's now June 13. I had no new growth at the bottom of the plant and have small leaves on all the old wood. I think my flower bed is too wet. I'm wondering if I should pull it out and move it (and if I do will I have a chance that it'll back with blooms next year) or is it done for completely since it didn't grow new blooms this year? Thank you! I'm new to all this and can't find anything on google.

I have a panicle type hydrangea like that and it sits in water every late winter/spring and it doesn't hurt it at all. They are a little slow to get going, but hopefully you saw lots of growth and blooms, seeing how your post is a couple months old. From what I've read, the hydrangeas we have were bred from wild cultivars that live on the edges of streams (hydra=water). It sounds like your plant is doing exactly what it's supposed to do. The panicle types don't really grow from the very bottom like the macrophylla types, but rather sprout out from and on limbs that already exist. You can cut your limelight back by a third in the spring and you will get flowers on all the new growth. I like to wait until I see some green growth, that way I can trim out any dead branches first, then ones that are crossing over one another, then ones for how I want to shape it. These are wonderful, easy, and forgiving plants. Hope this helps, albeit late to your post!
After 10 years of pruning and no flowers. I decided no pruning at all and 2 years later I am finally getting flowers. No more pruning. It blooms off of old growth. My does any ways.

My hydrangea color used to be yellow and purple. I saw a friends hydrangea that is blue. I found it so pretty and she suggested to buy the pellet to make acidity of my soil to different pH. That’s what I did. I spread the pellets to change the color. But now I noticed no flowers at all. Didn’t bloom. It blooms every year since I bought this house 8 years ago. This is just the first time it doesn’t have any flowers. Could it be the pellets I sprinkled last spring? Usually there are flowers by this time. Nothing at all. I regret spreading those pellets.
