Hydrangea Not Blooming: Stop Pruning!

Hydrangeas bloom on old wood. Pruning to 8" in fall removes next year’s flower buds. Stop pruning entirely. Only remove spent blooms after flowering.

Fertilize with high-phosphate (superphosphate) in slightly acidic water (½ tsp vinegar/½ gal water) for blue flowers. Transplant in autumn as they fade; dig deep hole, root system grows after ground freezes.

Guaranteed blooms next year if you put away the shears.
