What do I feed my hydrangea to produce more blooms

Question

I bought a hydrangea a few years ago. It seems healthy – good leaf growth and good leaf color. I planted it in an area that gets some morning shade and afternoon sun. I did not seen as many blooms last summer as I saw the first year. This year I want to correct that. Any suggestions?

Answer 1

I'm thinking that the shade has grown over the years, and your plant's flowering is reduced because of reduced light. Is it possible to trim back some of the shaders? Or move the hydrangea?
