June 3, 2018Q.climbing hydrangea
I have four climbing hydrangea that are about one year old. They are planted by my four arbor posts and are healthy and growing. I want them to grow up the posts and cover the top of the arbor. They are not wrapping around the post, what is the best way to achieve this? Will it hurt them to tie them to the posts? Thank you.

June 4, 2018A.The vines will need some help to attach to the posts. You can purchase plant twist ties that will work to help hold the vines to the post.
You can also wrap the posts with hardware cloth; the vines can easily attach to the surfaces of this metal fencing.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/vines/climbing-hydrangea/growing-climbing-hydrangeas.htm

June 16, 2018Q.Climbing Hydrangea – flowering
I have 3, very healthy looking climbing hydrangea in my backyard, but it is not flowering. I was expecting some flowers by now. It has been almost 3 years. They are in a partly shaded area, and I have put compost in most of the soil. I water daily and the leaves are very green and it is growing really well....I don't know what else to do. Any suggestions? Thank you for your time and expertise. I really appreciate it. Dianne

October 9, 2018Q.Climbing hydrangea vine
I've been researching a vine that could survive on a trellis or wall with limited sun. I thought I had found the answer with a climbing hydrangea vine BUT now I have read that I'm in a different zone! I live in Southern California zone 10. Do you think this vine could survive here? My neighbor erected an extremely ugly block wall between our houses. I feel like I'm in prison when I look our my windows on that side of my house!! I adore hydrangeas and have had hydrangea bushes that grew like crazy on that side of my house - it's the North side of the house - the wall faces the south but is shaded most of the day by my house.

October 9, 2018A.It can be done, but it won't be easy. These are suited for colder climates, and do not tolerate heat well. I have found a list of plants that will be better suited for your area.

Pr26 7ulQ.I have a climbing hydrangea which I planted a year ago.d It is growing well but I snapped the top of it by accident.
Will it still grow upwards or just bush out?

March 10, 2019A.Without a photo its hard to answer. It depends on how much of the top was lost, and also how it grows out and if you know how to do directional pruning.
With the apical leader snapped off, it may tend to grow laterally. But it may also put out multiple sprouts at the top where it was broken.
Water and fertilize and when you see new growth at the top, select the strongest and straightest leader or two and remove the rest. Pinch the ends of the lateral growth to discourage excess spread.
If that is a UK postal code, depencing on your local climate, your spring is almost in full swing, or soon will be. Its a good time to expect new growth, so be patient and see how it grows out. When that happens, send photos and we may be able to give you more specific advise.

Zanesville , Ohio Zone 6Q.My climbing hydrangea is 7 years old and has never bloomed. I live in zone 6, the little branch roots have never attached to the
arbor, it continues to climb. It comes back every spring nice and green, however, when I came home from vacation a couple of weeks ago the ends of most leaves are brown. This happens every summer to some extent and it has never bloomed. I have tried fertilizing in the spring; do the little branch roots need to attach to something to bloom, because they are not at all attached to the wood arbor.

Certified ExpertA.They do take several seasons to establish but 7 years? You say yours is climbing but not attaching to the wood arbor. As long as it is climbing it's OK. They won't bloom if they are running along the ground. Are you pruning in late summer or winter? If so, you may be cutting off the next year's blooms. They bloom in late spring and summer and start forming new buds about a month later.
