I have a peegee hydrangea that's in its 2nd season with no blooms. It's fertilized and in full sun.?

We live in Georgia. Any ideas as to why no blooms? Other hydrangea varieties are doing fine and blooming. No drought stress, and not dropping leaves.

There are several factors that could contribute to the lack of flowering on your Hydrangea. First, the full sun location may be stressing the plant somewhat. Ideally, hydrangeas prefer morning sun and afternoon shade. Second, the plant may be pruned at the wrong time of year. The majority of hydrangeas produce blooms on last year's growth. Heavy pruning in the spring removes wood necessary for flowering and thus results in few, if any, blooms. Third, it could be that the plant needs more time to establish in the garden. Balled and burlaped plants in particular are slower to establish. Keep the plant mulched and watered as necessary, do not prune, and hope for the best. If you decide to move it to a shadier part of the garden, February is a good month to do it in Georgia.





Good luck.
Reply:Acid and alkaline Fertilizer isn't enough for hydrangea


plants.usda.gov is a database describing plants in the U S and there needs, the variety you have may require longer to establish itself and bloom, but


www.garden.com has pretty pictures and info
Reply:Mine wouldn't bloom either. I kept fertilizing them. And then I read in a magazine that I wasn't supposed to fertilize hydrangeas. Now they are blooming again.
