Hello Kelly, I Love your informative videos! Thank you! One question-what type of bush is in front of your Hydrangeas? I love the leaf form! Thanks for sharing all of your experience. Gigi
I’m from Brisbane Queensland Australia- I enjoyed watching your video on hydrangeas. I’m a hydrangea lover and have successfully grown mine in large pots. They are such a rewarding plant and flower so well. Your garden hydrangeas are magnificent. I agree with you not to prune unless absolutely necessary. Regards Sue
Hi Susan👋 Thank you for you kind comment and for checking in from around the globe in Queensland Australia 🌸🤗👏👍🌍👋. Do you replant your hydrangeas in larger pots each year ? I am still trying to master the art of growing hydrangeas in pots .
Hello Kelly 🙋🏼♀️ as you know because of you all my hydrangeas bloomed this year because i didn't prune them back 🙏🏻 so they looked beautiful this year and didn't know i was watering them wrong 🤔😖 well even though most of the blooms are done i will be watering them in the morning and underneath. My leaves are getting spotty 😖 Thanks for the fabulous tips 🙋🏼♀️
Hey Bev, you are a true flower pal ! Thanks for always letting me know the good news coming up in your garden . Your lovely comments always make my day ❤️❤️❤️🤗🌸
I have several endless summer and they are not blooming at all since being planted a couple years ago. I assume it's from lack of sunlight. But my Limelights are glorious! I have 25-30 and they have created the most beautiful hedge. In love with these blooms!
Seeing this from Pittsfield, Massachusetts……had beautiful Hydrangea in our former home in Central New York State….may plant some here….thanks again for th reminder tips ❤️❤️
Your hydrangeas is stunning. I can’t wait to see how mine doing in the next few years. I have over 30 plants. I just started this year. Great tips. Thank you for sharing 🌸🌺🌼🌻
Hey, I love Hydrangeas, they’ve always been my favorite. It doesn’t matter to me if they get brown in the winter, that just makes the Spring blooming special. I really enjoyed your video and will continue to watch. I think that there is a learning curve, but you need to just find a good spot and plant. My husband always used to say that was the hardest part, finding the perfect spots! I’m in Marietta, GA. This year we had two hard freezes Dec. and March, 2023. Several of my Hydrangeas and Gardenias got hit pretty hard. Luckily they’re surviving! Thanks for all the good information.
This is really a well-done, informative video. I speak as a former extension professional with the University of Idaho. It is very thorough in considering all of the things that can go wrong with a plant, it explained them clearly, and did not include any old wive's tales that often make their way into gardening videos.
I live in upstate NY & I got a mysterious pink hydrangea for mother's day gift. It did very well until July when blooms turned green, then brown & dry. It also dropped quite a few leaves. I repotted
Hi 👋 This was extremely informative and concise. Love that you showed examples. You totally answered ALL my questions in less than 10 mins. Great video! 👍🏽 Watching from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 😃 ☀️
Was it a baby plant? Hydrangeas sleep, creep and leap. They are slow growers first 2-3 years. Also they go dormant in winter. They look like dead sticks but are very much alive.
Thank you for your comment on pruning hydrangeas. I was just about ready to prune. Now I know I better skip it this year. We live in beautiful Tennessee.
So I put coffee grounds at the bottom and it makes the flowers were so deep color and even changed colors couldn't believe it so I don't drink coffee so I want to my local coffee shop and ask then if I could have some of thier coffee ground s
That was so smart ! Coffee grounds add extra acidity to the soil that makes it easier for for the plant to absorb aluminum in the soil . This may cause the blooms to be a pretty blue shade .

Hi, We are in Medina Ohio. Your video helped me a lot, as I am nurturing 2 hydrangeas in pots for my daughter, who just built a new house. I got them last year, wintered them in our outside them in the carport and brought them out in spring to ready them for moving to my daughter's. We still are working on them, as she is expecting a new baby, so it looks like another year here. I'm glad uou pointed out the young plant issue, as when we bought them they were bursting with blooms and now only one pink bloom. Also, one seems to have gotten the winter blast, as it is about 1/4 the size of the other, and definitely is struggling with no blooms in sight. So thank you for the vid, keep them coming!
Thank you. I received my hydrangea as a gift last year. It did not bloom this year and I don't know if it is for my zone but, it's very green and lush so I am hoping that maybe it will bloom next year. Thank you for all the helpful information. You are amazing.
Kelly, thank you so much for your videos! Watching from Indiana here :) A question for you. We got like 8 shrubs of endless summer hydrangea 2 summers ago and they are planted in full sun spot (might get too much sun). During the summer, I regularly watered and each shrub maybe bear 1 flower... Now in September, they are getting late blooms but again, only a few per shrub. Your video mentioned it might take some time... should I wait till next year to see how they do? I am thinking of transplanting them if that's all they will have.
Hey there Su Gie, i like the fact that you are getting booms from your hydrangeas. Even though its not a lot , it's still good news. I would wait an extra year before consider transplanting them . They may just need a little more time to get established. I would hold off on pruning them this year and keep an eye on the moisture level of the soil before you water . If the soil is dry , water them , if its moist , I would leave them alone . Any chance you will be lucky enough to have a nearby tree grow more and cast some afternoon shade on them next year? Good luck . 🌸😊
Your hydrangeas are just gorgeous. It is obvious how much you love them. You have also planted them in the correct places for sun and shade and you know about NPK. Things I wish my husband understood! He wants our plants to bloom like everyone else's and not have any signs of fungi but does not understand how to achieve that. Grrr.
Thank you! I'm in zone 6 WV with hydrangea plants only 2 years old, so will check pH and make sure they get more water and more phosphorus and less nitrogen... thanks for the tips!
Hi Kelly, I've already saved 3 of your videos today, you've shared a lot of useful info, so thank you for that. In your pruning video you mention that around Feb is a good time to prune. Right now its August here in the UK, not a very strong summer but I'd call it mild weather. I bought a few hydrangeas a couple of weeks ago which I planted out into my garden a few days ago after the renovation of the garden finished. Two of my hydrangeas have no blooms, and shrivelled leaves. The third has one dried bloom and good leaves. I assumed that I'd get a fresh flush of blooms since its still summer. Should I remove the dead flowers and expect new blooms soon? Or are they spent for this year? In which case should I prune them now, or just control my itchy fingers and leave them alone till Feb? I've been watering them daily and the one with shrivelled leaves is now showing new leaves. I'm guessing they were neglected at the garden centre, and am really hoping for some new blooms. Please advise, thank you!
I like how you explain I like to hear every little detail because I don’t comprehend very well. But I did understand you pretty much more so than others. Thanks for the tips. Chesterfield, Virginia.
Hi Kelly, I’m a hydrangea lover, I have AnnaBelle and she performs fabulous for me! I have a pee-gee, an endless summer, and last fall purchased a limelight I was find for a steal!!! It’s my endless summer that is not performing. The first year she bloomed wonderfully, but her leaves turned crispy and brown on the ends. She was planted in full sun and even tho I watered her every day she fried😔. That fall I moved her to partial shade. That spring I pruned her, no flowers but gorgeous green foliage! This spring season I’m not going to,prune, and check the nitrogen in the soil. I live in northern Maine, zone 4. Thanks for sharing your garden knowledge with us❣️
Hey Brenda , wow sounds like you have some amazing hydrangeas in your garden! Yes endless summer can be tricky some times. There’s a chance you make have overwatered her . When a hydrangea gets too much water, the leaves will often curl up and look as though they are dehydrated . Try using the trick of poking your finger in the soil two inches down and if it feels dry , water it . If it feels very wet , leave her be. Also stick to watering at the base instead of overhead watering . Good luck . Hop on over to my new kelly lehman’s flower tribe group page and post pics of your flowers when you can . Would like to see them 🤗 ➡️ m.facebook.com/groups/173080477731043?refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Flogin%2Fdevice-based%2Fpassword%2F&_rdr
I have Wedding gown hydrangeas, here in Lake Placid, Florida. I have one bush on the east side of the house and one bush on the north side. It’s so hot down here, I didn’t want to expose them to constant very hot sun. They’re doing ok….not great. I transplanted the east side one last year. It was in under the eaves, on the north side, that got the least sun and it just wasn’t doing much. Thanks for the video. It’s very informative.
I'm watching you from Houston Texas. I have never had luck with hydrangeas. I am trying again. I bought a Big Daddy hydrangea in early May. It had one bloom and it is beautiful and green with that same big flower but no others. I'm learning from you and I will test my soil. The other thing is it may be too young. Well will see. Thank you for the information

Thank you for the informative video! I’m in Flat Rock, NC, in the beautiful NC mountains! I bought this home 2 years ago, and there are 2 hydrangeas (I think maybe Endless Summer) that bloomed beautifully last year, but neither is blooming this summer. I did cut old, dead canes after the bushes leafed out fully, but other than that, no pruning. After watching your video, I think maybe they were victims of winter blast. We had a very early warm spell in February, then the cold came back with temps in the 20s in March-April. We are zone 7. Now that I’ve seen this video, I’m going to go inspect for frozen buds. Also plan to send soil for testing. Thank you for this great resource!
I am in UK 🇬🇧 with several varieties , I have found a difference in flowering this year and need to relocate a few due to too much shade not enough sun I think as it’s a woodland area in my garden , I love the hydrangea information as I think they are such beautiful plants and as a new grower I am learning all about the, . Thank you 😊
Hi Andrea , thanks for sharing your insights about your hydrangeas . 👏🤗 Sounds like you have a great plan to get more blooms from your hydrangeas next year . I appreciate your kind comment. 🌸😊🤗👍
Marlton NJ checking in again this Spring. Thank you for your easy to follow instructions. Had blooms last Spring after cutting them back completely at the end of the previous year. My wife said to just let them be this winter. I did that and cut the brown flower bulbs off but let the stems exist through the winter. I think the warm temps in March and then freezing temps messed with the plants. Just added bone meal to try and level nitrogen levels. Time will tell!
Thanks for the tip on watering because I would water at night my hydrangeas (limelight). And my bluish hydrangeas are being overpowered by daisies and probably not getting enough sun light. the blue hydrangeas are about gone. You are a lot of help. Again Thanks.
Hello from Chesterfield, Virginia, I like the way you explain everything very slow into detail as it’s very hard for me to comprehend. I do love the hydrangeas and would love to be able to grow them. Thanks for the information.
HI KELLY--WE PRUNED OUR HYDRANGEAS LAST YEAR, NOW WE HAVE NICE GREEN LEAVES BUT NO BLOOMS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ON PRUNING AND WHEN NOT TO PRUNE-VIDEO'S VERY HELPFUL, THANKS AGAIN..
Wow, you have acidic native soil! I always love blue mop head hydrangeas but our soil is quite basic. Even with amending it only gives me a pink lavender colour blooms. They are absolutely stunning! 🤩⭐️❤️🇨🇦
You sound like you are a seasoned gardener. Great soil diagnosis 👏 I would agree that my soil is pretty acidic. . Thank you for your comment flower friend .👍🌸😊
I"m in Montana, zone 6, 6b. I just bought 17 mixed hydrangeas from our local nursery. They were last years and discounted 50 percent. I'm excited to try them out.
Hi from Msia. After watching your show of flowers, n after our lockdown, wen nurseries open, I will get a pot! Thot tough plant, now convinced I can grow!
I'm in Kingman, AZ and loving your channel! I't's quite hot here (90's) and will soon be 100. We have lots of sunlight so hoping my white/lime green ones do well!
They should do fine if you keep up with the watering . Don’t laugh but sometimes on the crazy hot and sunny August days here , I prop a golf umbrella over my hydrangeas that I see are starting to turn brown from the heat .
This is the third season and no bloom. It's now middle July. I also don't over prune them. And these hydrangea get some sun, but not all day. Also my oak leaf hydrangea is not blooming yet in July. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for sharing, and replying. ❤
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of plants. I love my garden and walk through it every morning looking for new flowers and deadheading old. My garden partner is my Miniature schnauzer, Beau. He loves to chase the chipmunks through the yard. I live in Columbus, Georgia.
Hello Kelly, Thank you so much for your videos on hydrangeas. I failed to dead head my first year hydrangeas. I was convinced I had ruined them, 6 plants. You have given me hope! From Washington state, at the plateau of Mt Rainier!!
Thanks for this great information! I am in Virginia and I am hoping my Hydrangeas start blooming as I was one of those that planted them after Mother's day in the front of my house. They were so beautiful! I cut off the dead blooms and I am hoping they come back again.
Thank you, this was so helpful. I have one bush that hasn’t bloomed in 8+ years, and this has given me confirmation that my choice to move it was the right one. Hopefully it blooms in its new spot next year!
I'm in England and my latest hydrangea addition is the Glam Rock it is exciting waiting patiently for the first blooms ,another one is Rockstar I'm keeping my eyes open for it

Hi I live in the middle of Michigan and my hydrangea doesn’t bloom. I did find out not to prune in the fall . I waited till this spring to prune. I had one flower last summer. It gets the morning sun and some early afternoon sun . I do believe it was from a green house. I love,love,love hydrangea.

Thank you. I learned why my hydrangea did not bloom this year. I put coffee grounds around my hydrangea several times over the winter. I just thought it would impact the color of the booms. Now I realize it probably released too much nitrogen.
👋 from Richmond, VA. My hydrangeas bloomed at the end of spring and have since dried up. I do remember my mom watering her flowers very often in the summer when I was a kid. 😕 I hope I can get them to bloom again this summer/fall.
Watching from Iowa! I have endless summer and all of my blue hydrangea turned pink! I just planted them this year and as long as I water them a lot, especially on hot days like today (96 degrees) they are very happy!
Hey Jodi, so happy to hear you have hydrangea blooms this year 💃💃👍. i love when they change colors . Sounds like the PH in your soil shifted a bit . You must have planted them in the perfect spot to get blooms the first year. Well done. Yes watering is key on super hot days . Sounds like you have some super happy hydrangeas. Thank you for sharing 👏😊
I bought them as potted plants from Lowe's and I picked up 3 pink and 3 blue. Needless to say, the pink hydrangeas are super pink! 🌸 I've been trying to lower the pH of the soil, but I've haven't seen any color change yet. I'm just happy they are doing well where they are. They do actually see a little morning shade and all afternoon sun, but they are beautiful. I have some Annabelle's on the east side of my house that get morning sun and afternoon shade and they are doing well as well. Im waiting on my limelights to show up so I can enjoy those beauties too! 😍
Wow, you have all of my favorite hydrangeas👏👏 Sounds like you have a green thumb . I’ll bet your Annabelles are a gorgeous green this time of year . 🤗🌸
@@KellyLehman They are a gorgeous green! This is the first year I've really had anything besides a few potted Portulaca. My neighbors had given me some cuttings from there Annabelle's after they thinned theirs out. I've really come to like having a flower garden. It just makes me happy to see it all in it's full glory 🤗
Hi Kelly. I live in Sydney Australia. My hydrangeas bring me so much joy! I have multiple mophead whites from cuttings off my mother plant. Thanks for your tips. Mel
I’m watching from West Brookfield, Massachusetts. I started gardening this year and got few hydrangeas plants. I’m learning so much with your videos. Thank you so much. Please provide information to prepare gardens for winters in zone 5. Keep it coming!
All the way from Tropical Malaysia !! Such a helpful video. I just have my hydrangea plants for less than a year and was wondering why hasnt it bloomed?? I've learnt so much from your videos. Cant wait to learn more on gardening from your channel.
Great info! I watched few of your hydrangeas videos and understood that I pruned my hydrangeas lil too much without knowing what u shared. 🙆🏻♀️🙈 I thought it was the soil or fertilizer fix but I’m the culprit of not getting flowers Well lesson learned, thanks for sharing this info.
This was great!! I’m working my butt off to give my yard a major makeover. I have an old hydrangea plant that blooms every spring and a very small year old one that’s just now blooming. So exciting!! Both are in shady areas w afternoon sun - right off the Pacific Ocean in Southern California.
Good info. I’m in Knoxville. Hydrangeas are my favorite. I have 2 blue that are well established & 1 from last year that has not bloomed this year. The new one was Mother’s Day gift but it was from Lowes. I’ve fed it & keep it watered, I’m hoping it will bloom next year,

I bought what was called a “climbing hydrangea” and planted it around 20 years ago. From a guy who had a lot of plants on property out in the middle of nowhere. Everything I got did great but that one plant. Still in same spot, never had bloomed

Thank you very much I really gained a lot from u 2day
I've been watching this video
God bless you dear 😄😄😄
Great information! Sept in Lexington,North Carolina
I live north of Detroit Michigan. I love my hydrangeas. Thank you for all your tips.
You're welcome Irene ! I'm glad you enjoyed the Hydrangea Care Tips video 🌸
Thank you for checking in from Detroit Michigan 🌎😊🌸👋👍☀️
I like how you explain I like to hear every little detail because I don’t comprehend very well. But I did understand you pretty much more so than others. Thanks for the tips. Chesterfield, Virginia.
Hi from Bangor N Ireland.... no problem growing hydrangea here !
Richmond Hill, Ontario, Canada just north of Toronto. Zone 5b , thank you for your time and information. Very encouraging, inspiring.
Hi Kelly, I’m a hydrangea lover, I have AnnaBelle and she performs fabulous for me! I have a pee-gee, an endless summer, and last fall purchased a limelight I was find for a steal!!! It’s my endless summer that is not performing. The first year she bloomed wonderfully, but her leaves turned crispy and brown on the ends. She was planted in full sun and even tho I watered her every day she fried😔. That fall I moved her to partial shade. That spring I pruned her, no flowers but gorgeous green foliage! This spring season I’m not going to,prune, and check the nitrogen in the soil. I live in northern Maine, zone 4. Thanks for sharing your garden knowledge with us❣️
Hey Brenda , wow sounds like you have some amazing hydrangeas in your garden! Yes endless summer can be tricky some times. There’s a chance you make have overwatered her . When a hydrangea gets too much water, the leaves will often curl up and look as though they are dehydrated . Try using the trick of poking your finger in the soil two inches down and if it feels dry , water it . If it feels very wet , leave her be. Also stick to watering at the base instead of overhead watering . Good luck . Hop on over to my new kelly lehman’s flower tribe group page and post pics of your flowers when you can . Would like to see them 🤗 ➡️ m.facebook.com/groups/173080477731043?refsrc=https%3A%2F%2Fm.facebook.com%2Flogin%2Fdevice-based%2Fpassword%2F&_rdr
Is it true that in the fall hydrangeas, you feed phosphorus?
I have Wedding gown hydrangeas, here in Lake Placid, Florida. I have one bush on the east side of the house and one bush on the north side. It’s so hot down here, I didn’t want to expose them to constant very hot sun. They’re doing ok….not great. I transplanted the east side one last year. It was in under the eaves, on the north side, that got the least sun and it just wasn’t doing much. Thanks for the video. It’s very informative.
I'm watching you from Houston Texas. I have never had luck with hydrangeas. I am trying again. I bought a Big Daddy hydrangea in early May. It had one bloom and it is beautiful and green with that same big flower but no others. I'm learning from you and I will test my soil. The other thing is it may be too young. Well will see. Thank you for the information
I am on a replay from New Hampshire! I bought my first endless summer hydrangeas yesterday!
Thank you for checking in from New Hampshire 🌎👋😊🌼 Wishing you all the best with your first endless summer hydrangeas 🌸🌸🌸
In Dallas, just had two planted. I love the blooms. Gets morning sun and that is about it. Love them.
Thank you for checking in from Dallas 🌸 So happy to hear that you're enjoying your hydrangeas 🌸👍

Thanks for this ,I've got a plant in a pot with lovely green leaves and one bloom, watching from Lincolnshire England 🏴🏴
Thank you for checking in from Lincolnshire England 😊🌸🌎👍👋
Thank you for the informative video! I’m in Flat Rock, NC, in the beautiful NC mountains! I bought this home 2 years ago, and there are 2 hydrangeas (I think maybe Endless Summer) that bloomed beautifully last year, but neither is blooming this summer. I did cut old, dead canes after the bushes leafed out fully, but other than that, no pruning. After watching your video, I think maybe they were victims of winter blast. We had a very early warm spell in February, then the cold came back with temps in the 20s in March-April. We are zone 7. Now that I’ve seen this video, I’m going to go inspect for frozen buds. Also plan to send soil for testing. Thank you for this great resource!
I am in UK 🇬🇧 with several varieties , I have found a difference in flowering this year and need to relocate a few due to too much shade not enough sun I think as it’s a woodland area in my garden , I love the hydrangea information as I think they are such beautiful plants and as a new grower I am learning all about the, . Thank you 😊
Hi Andrea , thanks for sharing your insights about your hydrangeas . 👏🤗 Sounds like you have a great plan to get more blooms from your hydrangeas next year .
I appreciate your kind comment. 🌸😊🤗👍

Coming to you from NC zone 8-9 Hydrangeas are my favorites 💖😍💖
I also love hydrangeas 😊🌸 Thank you for checking in from North Carolina 🌸👍👋🌎🤗
Marlton NJ checking in again this Spring. Thank you for your easy to follow instructions. Had blooms last Spring after cutting them back completely at the end of the previous year. My wife said to just let them be this winter. I did that and cut the brown flower bulbs off but let the stems exist through the winter. I think the warm temps in March and then freezing temps messed with the plants. Just added bone meal to try and level nitrogen levels. Time will tell!
Thanks for the tip on watering because I would water at night my hydrangeas (limelight). And my bluish hydrangeas are being overpowered by daisies and probably not getting enough sun light. the blue hydrangeas are about gone. You are a lot of help. Again Thanks.
From Illinois . I have never seen a prettier endless summer
Thank you flower friend - and thanks for checking in from Illinois 🌸🌸😊😊🌻👋🌎
Hello from Chesterfield, Virginia, I like the way you explain everything very slow into detail as it’s very hard for me to comprehend. I do love the hydrangeas and would love to be able to grow them. Thanks for the information.
HI KELLY--WE PRUNED OUR HYDRANGEAS LAST YEAR, NOW WE HAVE NICE GREEN LEAVES BUT NO BLOOMS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ON PRUNING AND WHEN NOT TO PRUNE-VIDEO'S VERY HELPFUL, THANKS AGAIN..
Hey Garry , so happy you like the hydrangea video . I appreciate your kind comment . Happy gardening ! 🌸😊Kelly
Watching from the Philippines. Thank you for sharing those tips..
Thank you for checking in from the Philippines 👋🌸😊🌎👏
Wow, you have acidic native soil! I always love blue mop head hydrangeas but our soil is quite basic. Even with amending it only gives me a pink lavender colour blooms. They are absolutely stunning! 🤩⭐️❤️🇨🇦
You sound like you are a seasoned gardener. Great soil diagnosis 👏 I would agree that my soil is pretty acidic. . Thank you for your comment flower friend .👍🌸😊
As a animal person I just love that Lucy Lehman! that's a great garden buddy you have Kelly.
I’ll let her know you send some puppy love . Thank you 👍🤗🌸
I"m in Montana, zone 6, 6b. I just bought 17 mixed hydrangeas from our local nursery. They were last years and discounted 50 percent. I'm excited to try them out.
Did you plant them directly in the soil or you started first indoors??
Hi from Msia. After watching your show of flowers, n after our lockdown, wen nurseries open, I will get a pot! Thot tough plant, now convinced I can grow!
I am viewing this from Eastlake, Ohio! Enjoying all this information!
I'm in Kingman, AZ and loving your channel! I't's quite hot here (90's) and will soon be 100. We have lots of sunlight so hoping my white/lime green ones do well!
They should do fine if you keep up with the watering . Don’t laugh but sometimes on the crazy hot and sunny August days here , I prop a golf umbrella over my hydrangeas that I see are starting to turn brown from the heat .
Hydrangeas are my favorite 🌷
Same here 🌸
This is the third season and no bloom. It's now middle July. I also don't over prune them. And these hydrangea get some sun, but not all day. Also my oak leaf hydrangea is not blooming yet in July. Don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thanks for sharing, and replying. ❤
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of plants. I love my garden and walk through it every morning looking for new flowers and deadheading old. My garden partner is my Miniature schnauzer, Beau. He loves to chase the chipmunks through the yard. I live in Columbus, Georgia.
Hello Kelly,
Thank you so much for your videos on hydrangeas. I failed to dead head my first year hydrangeas. I was convinced I had ruined them, 6 plants. You have given me hope!
From Washington state, at the plateau of Mt Rainier!!
Thanks for this great information! I am in Virginia and I am hoping my Hydrangeas start blooming as I was one of those that planted them after Mother's day in the front of my house. They were so beautiful! I cut off the dead blooms and I am hoping they come back again.
Thank you, this was so helpful. I have one bush that hasn’t bloomed in 8+ years, and this has given me confirmation that my choice to move it was the right one. Hopefully it blooms in its new spot next year!
Is it blooming?? :)
@@vicklee33 Still too early here in Michigan for any hydrangeas to bloom. We’ll see in June!
I thought I did a good job last year cleaning our endless hydrangeas but this summer huge leaves and no blooms only few good video thanks

Hi I live in the middle of Michigan and my hydrangea doesn’t bloom. I did find out not to prune in the fall . I waited till this spring to prune. I had one flower last summer. It gets the morning sun and some early afternoon sun . I do believe it was from a green house. I love,love,love hydrangea.
Hi Sharon , what type of hydrangea is it? I would try not pruning it back at all and see what happens . Good luck . I love love love hydrangeas too 😀
Viewing from Texas,USA.
AMAZING video.
First time to have hydrangeas, i.e., Blue Cassell & not blooming yet.

Thank you. I learned why my hydrangea did not bloom this year. I put coffee grounds around my hydrangea several times over the winter. I just thought it would impact the color of the booms. Now I realize it probably released too much nitrogen.
I've heard to use nitrogen in the spring and phosphorus in the fall.
Thank you form Fiji 🇫🇯 .
👋 from Richmond, VA. My hydrangeas bloomed at the end of spring and have since dried up. I do remember my mom watering her flowers very often in the summer when I was a kid. 😕 I hope I can get them to bloom again this summer/fall.
Watching from Iowa! I have endless summer and all of my blue hydrangea turned pink! I just planted them this year and as long as I water them a lot, especially on hot days like today (96 degrees) they are very happy!
Hey Jodi, so happy to hear you have hydrangea blooms this year 💃💃👍. i love when they change colors . Sounds like the PH in your soil shifted a bit . You must have planted them in the perfect spot to get blooms the first year. Well done. Yes watering is key on super hot days . Sounds like you have some super happy hydrangeas. Thank you for sharing 👏😊
Thank you for checking in from Iowa 🌍👋😊🌸
I bought them as potted plants from Lowe's and I picked up 3 pink and 3 blue. Needless to say, the pink hydrangeas are super pink! 🌸 I've been trying to lower the pH of the soil, but I've haven't seen any color change yet. I'm just happy they are doing well where they are. They do actually see a little morning shade and all afternoon sun, but they are beautiful. I have some Annabelle's on the east side of my house that get morning sun and afternoon shade and they are doing well as well. Im waiting on my limelights to show up so I can enjoy those beauties too! 😍
Wow, you have all of my favorite hydrangeas👏👏 Sounds like you have a green thumb . I’ll bet your Annabelles are a gorgeous green this time of year . 🤗🌸
@@KellyLehman They are a gorgeous green! This is the first year I've really had anything besides a few potted Portulaca. My neighbors had given me some cuttings from there Annabelle's after they thinned theirs out. I've really come to like having a flower garden. It just makes me happy to see it all in it's full glory 🤗
I’m from Columbia, SC. This was great! It was just what I needed to know. You are awesome! Thanks

Thanks so much for the tips. I live in Maryland, hot summers, moderate winters but we get freezing temperatures.
Georgia. I’ve just planted two but it’s in the house and I’ll put it out in spring after our last frost.

All the way from Tropical Malaysia !! Such a helpful video. I just have my hydrangea plants for less than a year and was wondering why hasnt it bloomed?? I've learnt so much from your videos. Cant wait to learn more on gardening from your channel.
Hi Flower Friend 👋 Thank you for checking in from Malaysia 🌸👍👋🌎🤗 I'm so glad the video was helpful ! I am wishing you beautiful hydrangea blooms 🌸🌸🌸
Great video I've hydrangea in a pot only one flower head this yr but a tiny one in a pot gave me 3 heads 😀 here in Dublin ireland 🇮🇪
Great info! I watched few of your hydrangeas videos and understood that I pruned my hydrangeas lil too much without knowing what u shared. 🙆🏻♀️🙈 I thought it was the soil or fertilizer fix but I’m the culprit of not getting flowers
Well lesson learned, thanks for sharing this info.
You're welcome , I'm so glad that the video was helpful 🌸😊
This was great!! I’m working my butt off to give my yard a major makeover. I have an old hydrangea plant that blooms every spring and a very small year old one that’s just now blooming. So exciting!! Both are in shady areas w afternoon sun - right off the Pacific Ocean in Southern California.
Good info. I’m in Knoxville. Hydrangeas are my favorite. I have 2 blue that are well established & 1 from last year that has not bloomed this year. The new one was Mother’s Day gift but it was from Lowes. I’ve fed it & keep it watered, I’m hoping it will bloom next year,
I am from Malaysia, and I just got my first hydrangea, small plant like 30cm height. Still a long way to learn.
That is so exciting !

I bought what was called a “climbing hydrangea” and planted it around 20 years ago. From a guy who had a lot of plants on property out in the middle of nowhere. Everything I got did great but that one plant. Still in same spot, never had bloomed
