How long after deadheading a hydrangea will it start to make new blooms?

A few weeks to a month at most.





Hydrangea tip. There is no such thing as "blue" Hydrangea and "Pink" Hydrangea. There is only a single type which like a botanical litmus paper will turn blue in acid soils and pink in basic soils so you can have a nice row of blue pink blue pink blue by liming the crap out of the ones you want pink and extra acid like Miracid on the ones you want blue which in my area is unnecessary anyway. They'll all end up blue without treatment.





But is it possible to get blue and pink on the same plant?





I did it and one 2nd prize in a major garden show. But I used some "cheating" by injecting a special solution into the stems while the bud was in formation. Very sneaky!
