I just planted an endless summer hydrangea last sat.Their aren't any blooms just buds.Now the leaves have turned brown and have wilted.Where I have planted it gets morning sun and is in the shade from 3:00 p.m.on.I'm watering almost daily.Any tips would be appreciated
Why is my endless summer hydrangea is wilting ?
tho the hydrangea plant loves a lot of water the plant will suffer if the soil is constantly very wet..it may cause the roots to rot particularly if the plant was recently planted or moved due to root damage also if the sun it gets in the morning is very strong it may account for the for some of the wilting in the leaf. i would suggest letting the soil dry a little and then lightly feeding with something like miracle grow
Reply:morning sun, shade from three oclock? ... nine hours?... that's full sun.... noon sun is terrible on hydras... they're sunburned!... morning sun meansbefore eleven am, and after that, they are in shade... that still means they're in sun from six to eleven, which is a whole lot of sun even then!... get them some shade!!....
stop watering to fix the wilt.... the wilt is the plant trying to hide it's leaves from the sun...... water to keep the soil MOIST, not soggy.... shade the plant somehow or move it....
Reply:Hydrangeas do not like sun and they don't like getting there leaves wet. Bottom water and move it to a shady area like the north side of your home.
