I have 5 blue hydrangea bushes. One has not bloomed for 3 years and three more have not bloomed this year, leaving me only one that has bloomed. They all have bloomed at least once and they are in different areas of our yard. We live just south of Kansas City, MO. What am I doing wrong?
This could be a factor with pruning or they may simply be in need of some phosphorus. These articles may help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/hydrangea/prune-hydrangea-bushes-hydrangea-pruning-instructions.htm

I planted new hydrangeas this year. They haven't blossomed yet and the leaves have turned purple. Do you know why? What can I do?
Immature hydrangea leaves often have a purplish cast. Also, it is possible that it is caused by a lack of nutrients. Have the soil tested. It may be a phosphorous deficiency. Purple leaves/foliage are often a sign for this deficiency. Regardless, adding a little phosphorous will not hurt the plant. In fact, it may even help with getting your shrub to bloom.

What causes light green/yellow leaves on hydrangea?
This sounds like Chlorosis. This article will help with that:

We purchased a hydrangea plant a few weeks ago from a nursery. It keeps growing but has not produced any flowers. What is the problem?

My plants are about 7 years old. They have bloomed every year but are now turning brown and dying. What can I do? It has been hot this year, but they receive sun and shade during the day. They are located near the house.
It there any pattern to the die back (new stems, older stems, etc) and are there any other signs of disease? This will help us better determine the type of problem.
I would also go ahead and inspect the roots and look for burrows in teh ground around them. You may have a rodent problem and they may be chewing on the roots of the plants.
My hydrangea has never flowered. Do you know why? It's in shade but its leaves are green and healthy looking. But it has never flowered.

I have 3 pots of hydrangeas that I put in the basement over winter to let hibernate. I did not water them. I brought them out a month ago onto my very sunny deck. They do not look dead, but nothing is happening. I pruned them after I brought them outside in May. . . did I do something wrong? Should I plant them in the ground or keep watering them in the pots and wait?
It doesn't look good for your hydrangeas. Either they dried out too much during storage, or they got too much sun and burned. You can try planting them in the ground and hope for the best. Next time, try giving your winter stored plants a light watering once a month. Sorry the news isn't better.
