I would like to know the answer to this also. I bought two at a yard sale at least 10 years ago and they have only bloomed on one bush one time, one bloom only! Beautiful foliage but nothing else. I do hope someone can help. I have no idea the kind of hydrangeas they are. Thanks in advance.
Sometimes if you get a frost after the buds have already formed, it can affect the blooms. What type of hydrangea do you have? A mophead? If you grow the new ones that are out like Endless Summer to name one, they bloom on both old and new wood so you have a better chance of them blooming. Also a paniculata will bloom every time. I have two paniculata hudgrangeas called "Limelight" and they will always bloom because they are more cold tolerant.

Request: Hydrangeas Not Blooming
Archived on 09/14/2009
We have two hydrangea plants that were given to us at same time. We planted them side by side at the same time. Both plants flourished, one had many blooms. The other is just green and healthy looking, no blooms. What can we do to make it bloom or should we just remove non-blooming plant?
