How do I get my climbing hydrangea to bloom

Question

How do I get my climbing hydrangea to bloom? At least 3 yrs old and planted in rich soil.

Answer 1

Generally speaking, when plants don't flower, it's usually because they're not old enough, don't have enough sun, or have too much nitrogen/ not enough phosphorous in the soil. The first two are easy to understand, but the fix for the third involves fertilizing less and working bone meal into the soil.
