Series Hobella, called Kaleidoscope, cold to -6 from El Modeno grower. Bloom on old or new wood with heart-shape leaves and serrated edge.
Other purchased at Home Depot, called Red Lady. Purchased because many white single flowers on 3-4 inch stem from a short distance - flowers appear to be floating in air. Has similar leaves to above new growth and dark red semi-translucent stems on
old or new wood.

San DiegoQ.Hydrangeas
We have enjoyed gorgeous blooming hydrangeas for several years. In 2013 plants produced very few flowers and in 2014 all plants were dead. We have tried planting new plants with no success. Would really appreciate your comments.

March 24, 2015A.This is a stunning display of hydrangea, I understand why you would want to recreate such a beautiful stand of plants.
Did you have a change in watering schedule that may have caused the loss of your plants?
Drought has taken a few of my plants over the past years, so I would start with that as a possibility.
Prior to planting, I would also access your soil.
You may even want to have your soil tested, to ensure success with your new plants.Here is a link to help you find your closest extension office.

I live in Bangladesh.Q.Green plant
Couple of days ago I bought this plant, but don't know its name and how to take if it. Please write me its name and caring instructions. I first thought it would be coleus, but plant sellers here say it's not coleus. This plant didn't grow long. Thanking you. Shahin.

Certified ExpertA.Thanks again. The picture I sent and in reply the page link you sent me, my plant doesn't mach with none of them. It's flowers are very tine and yellow, some flowers are red also, leafs are also different. Now I'm little beat confused. Please see my picture again.
Thanking you.
Shahin.Shahin - I am pretty confident it is "variegated hydrangea (H. macrophylla ‘Variegata’)" The photo in the care article I sent is another variety of hydrangea. If you google "variegated hydrangea (H. macrophylla ‘Variegata’)" you will see ones with the same types of leaves and tiny flowers.

Certified ExpertA.Have you pruned your hydrangea? If you don’t prune at all, it may be something you want to consider. If you prune, your hydrangea stands a better chance of growing larger flowers. A hydrangea that isn't pruned tends to have smaller ones. Tips for pruning hydrangeas can be found here:
https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/hydrangea/prune-hydrangea-bushes-hydrangea-pruning-instructions.htmBarring that, you can give your hydrangea its best chance for big blooms by ensuring it is getting the care it needs with regards to watering, fertilizing, light, etc. - this article provides you with a plan of care:
