Author Topic: No flowers on my Hydrangeas Rose Tree Gardener Member # 5848 posted                       I have 2 Hydrangeas both in the same flower bed. Neither one of them have flowers on them this year. Both are very health with lush green leaves and a about half day of sun. Any help would be great. Thanks Posts: 4 | From: NorthEast | Registered: Jun 2005  |  Logged: 198.50.63.15 loz guests posted                 Hi, do you know what type of hydrangeas they are??????? Some types bloom on old wood and some bloom on new wood.... Logged: 205.188.116.71 loz guests posted                 Also I was wondering how big they were? I have 3 mature ones that are huge and in full bloom, but I also have 2 smaller ones that we planted 2 years ago that haven't even budded yet. They will soon, they are just slower than the big ones. Did you just plant them this spring or have they been in your garden for a while?

Mine are still growing, bloom on new wood but appear to be slower this year then last. Maybe I am just not patient enough. I put hollytone down about 2 months ago and that should help. Good Luck bbbbbbbbb BFVISION http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=2122269418&mode=guest Posts: 197 | From: NJ, NORTHERN COUNTY | Registered: Aug 2003  |  Logged: 65.40.198.51 weezie13 Compost Queen!

They get watered about every 2 to 3 days depending on the rain and temp. I have not test the soil but I have other plants in the bed that are doing very well. I will try the hollytone and I may have to wait until next year for blooms. Thanks for all the helpful hints.

This has happened to me several times, especially with newly planted ones. I have found that the more mature the hydrangea, the less often it occurs though. bbbbbbbbb Posts: 699 | From: Knoxville, TN | Registered: Aug 2002  |  Logged: 152.163.100.68
