April 26, 2011Q.Hydrangea Bush
Can I cut a Hydrangea back to the ground, and will it grow back better? I have one that hasn't bloomed in a few years, not sure what to do with it. I got it from my daughter, who built a new home and had to move it about 4 years ago. It hasn't done well for me. It had big beautiful blooms for her. It is a blue one.

Certified ExpertA.It will come back, but it most likely will not fix the blooming problem. This article will help with that:

Certified ExpertA.I would not prune them right now, though you can trim off the damaged flower blossoms. Most hydrangeas bloom on old growth, so if you prune, you will lose the blooms next year. They will regrow their leaves when spring comes, as long as the stems are alive. Once you see what stems have died, you can trim them away.

May 16, 2011Q.Green Hydrangeas
My hydrangeas start with lovely blue-pink flowers but always end up turning green. The bush is next to a fence that will get some sun in the morning but later will be in shade.

May 16, 2011Q.Hydrangea and Pests
My hydrangea does not bloom each year. I was told changing soil would help the color of the plant to change. Is this true? How do I get my hydrangea to change color, and why doesn't it bloom every year? How do I keep rabbits and deer from eating my new plants, such as lilac trees?
