Hello Kelly, I Love your informative videos! Thank you! One question-what type of bush is in front of your Hydrangeas? I love the leaf form! Thanks for sharing all of your experience. Gigi
Seeing this from Pittsfield, Massachusetts……had beautiful Hydrangea in our former home in Central New York State….may plant some here….thanks again for th reminder tips ❤️❤️
Your hydrangeas is stunning. I can’t wait to see how mine doing in the next few years. I have over 30 plants. I just started this year. Great tips. Thank you for sharing 🌸🌺🌼🌻
Hey, I love Hydrangeas, they’ve always been my favorite. It doesn’t matter to me if they get brown in the winter, that just makes the Spring blooming special. I really enjoyed your video and will continue to watch. I think that there is a learning curve, but you need to just find a good spot and plant. My husband always used to say that was the hardest part, finding the perfect spots! I’m in Marietta, GA. This year we had two hard freezes Dec. and March, 2023. Several of my Hydrangeas and Gardenias got hit pretty hard. Luckily they’re surviving! Thanks for all the good information.
Hi, We are in Medina Ohio. Your video helped me a lot, as I am nurturing 2 hydrangeas in pots for my daughter, who just built a new house. I got them last year, wintered them in our outside them in the carport and brought them out in spring to ready them for moving to my daughter's. We still are working on them, as she is expecting a new baby, so it looks like another year here. I'm glad uou pointed out the young plant issue, as when we bought them they were bursting with blooms and now only one pink bloom. Also, one seems to have gotten the winter blast, as it is about 1/4 the size of the other, and definitely is struggling with no blooms in sight. So thank you for the vid, keep them coming!
Hi 👋 This was extremely informative and concise. Love that you showed examples. You totally answered ALL my questions in less than 10 mins. Great video! 👍🏽 Watching from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. 😃 ☀️
This is really a well-done, informative video. I speak as a former extension professional with the University of Idaho. It is very thorough in considering all of the things that can go wrong with a plant, it explained them clearly, and did not include any old wive's tales that often make their way into gardening videos.
I have several endless summer and they are not blooming at all since being planted a couple years ago. I assume it's from lack of sunlight. But my Limelights are glorious! I have 25-30 and they have created the most beautiful hedge. In love with these blooms!
Thank you. I received my hydrangea as a gift last year. It did not bloom this year and I don't know if it is for my zone but, it's very green and lush so I am hoping that maybe it will bloom next year. Thank you for all the helpful information. You are amazing.
Was it a baby plant? Hydrangeas sleep, creep and leap. They are slow growers first 2-3 years. Also they go dormant in winter. They look like dead sticks but are very much alive.
Kelly, thank you so much for your videos! Watching from Indiana here :) A question for you. We got like 8 shrubs of endless summer hydrangea 2 summers ago and they are planted in full sun spot (might get too much sun). During the summer, I regularly watered and each shrub maybe bear 1 flower... Now in September, they are getting late blooms but again, only a few per shrub. Your video mentioned it might take some time... should I wait till next year to see how they do? I am thinking of transplanting them if that's all they will have.
Hey there Su Gie, i like the fact that you are getting booms from your hydrangeas. Even though its not a lot , it's still good news. I would wait an extra year before consider transplanting them . They may just need a little more time to get established. I would hold off on pruning them this year and keep an eye on the moisture level of the soil before you water . If the soil is dry , water them , if its moist , I would leave them alone . Any chance you will be lucky enough to have a nearby tree grow more and cast some afternoon shade on them next year? Good luck . 🌸😊
Hi Kelly, I've already saved 3 of your videos today, you've shared a lot of useful info, so thank you for that. In your pruning video you mention that around Feb is a good time to prune. Right now its August here in the UK, not a very strong summer but I'd call it mild weather. I bought a few hydrangeas a couple of weeks ago which I planted out into my garden a few days ago after the renovation of the garden finished. Two of my hydrangeas have no blooms, and shrivelled leaves. The third has one dried bloom and good leaves. I assumed that I'd get a fresh flush of blooms since its still summer. Should I remove the dead flowers and expect new blooms soon? Or are they spent for this year? In which case should I prune them now, or just control my itchy fingers and leave them alone till Feb? I've been watering them daily and the one with shrivelled leaves is now showing new leaves. I'm guessing they were neglected at the garden centre, and am really hoping for some new blooms. Please advise, thank you!
So I put coffee grounds at the bottom and it makes the flowers were so deep color and even changed colors couldn't believe it so I don't drink coffee so I want to my local coffee shop and ask then if I could have some of thier coffee ground s
That was so smart ! Coffee grounds add extra acidity to the soil that makes it easier for for the plant to absorb aluminum in the soil . This may cause the blooms to be a pretty blue shade . Thank you for letting the flower tribe about the coffee hydrangea trick 👏👏 Thank you for watching my hydrangeas care video🌻🌸🌸🤗 I’d like to invite you to join my Kelly Lehman Flower Tribe Facebook Group.

Your hydrangeas are just gorgeous. It is obvious how much you love them. You have also planted them in the correct places for sun and shade and you know about NPK. Things I wish my husband understood! He wants our plants to bloom like everyone else's and not have any signs of fungi but does not understand how to achieve that. Grrr.
I like how you explain I like to hear every little detail because I don’t comprehend very well. But I did understand you pretty much more so than others. Thanks for the tips. Chesterfield, Virginia.
Hi from Msia. After watching your show of flowers, n after our lockdown, wen nurseries open, I will get a pot! Thot tough plant, now convinced I can grow!
Hello from Chesterfield, Virginia, I like the way you explain everything very slow into detail as it’s very hard for me to comprehend. I do love the hydrangeas and would love to be able to grow them. Thanks for the information.
Thank you for your comment on pruning hydrangeas. I was just about ready to prune. Now I know I better skip it this year. We live in beautiful Tennessee.
Thank you for the informative video! I’m in Flat Rock, NC, in the beautiful NC mountains! I bought this home 2 years ago, and there are 2 hydrangeas (I think maybe Endless Summer) that bloomed beautifully last year, but neither is blooming this summer. I did cut old, dead canes after the bushes leafed out fully, but other than that, no pruning. After watching your video, I think maybe they were victims of winter blast. We had a very early warm spell in February, then the cold came back with temps in the 20s in March-April. We are zone 7. Now that I’ve seen this video, I’m going to go inspect for frozen buds. Also plan to send soil for testing. Thank you for this great resource!

I’m watching from West Brookfield, Massachusetts. I started gardening this year and got few hydrangeas plants. I’m learning so much with your videos. Thank you so much. Please provide information to prepare gardens for winters in zone 5. Keep it coming!
Marlton NJ checking in again this Spring. Thank you for your easy to follow instructions. Had blooms last Spring after cutting them back completely at the end of the previous year. My wife said to just let them be this winter. I did that and cut the brown flower bulbs off but let the stems exist through the winter. I think the warm temps in March and then freezing temps messed with the plants. Just added bone meal to try and level nitrogen levels. Time will tell!
Thank you, this was so helpful. I have one bush that hasn’t bloomed in 8+ years, and this has given me confirmation that my choice to move it was the right one. Hopefully it blooms in its new spot next year!
Hello Kelly, Thank you so much for your videos on hydrangeas. I failed to dead head my first year hydrangeas. I was convinced I had ruined them, 6 plants. You have given me hope! From Washington state, at the plateau of Mt Rainier!!
All the way from Tropical Malaysia !! Such a helpful video. I just have my hydrangea plants for less than a year and was wondering why hasnt it bloomed?? I've learnt so much from your videos. Cant wait to learn more on gardening from your channel.
HI KELLY--WE PRUNED OUR HYDRANGEAS LAST YEAR, NOW WE HAVE NICE GREEN LEAVES BUT NO BLOOMS, THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO ON PRUNING AND WHEN NOT TO PRUNE-VIDEO'S VERY HELPFUL, THANKS AGAIN..
Thanks for sharing your knowledge of plants. I love my garden and walk through it every morning looking for new flowers and deadheading old. My garden partner is my Miniature schnauzer, Beau. He loves to chase the chipmunks through the yard. I live in Columbus, Georgia.
Hi Kelly. I live in Sydney Australia. My hydrangeas bring me so much joy! I have multiple mophead whites from cuttings off my mother plant. Thanks for your tips. Mel
I am in UK 🇬🇧 with several varieties , I have found a difference in flowering this year and need to relocate a few due to too much shade not enough sun I think as it’s a woodland area in my garden , I love the hydrangea information as I think they are such beautiful plants and as a new grower I am learning all about the, . Thank you 😊
Hi Andrea , thanks for sharing your insights about your hydrangeas . 👏🤗 Sounds like you have a great plan to get more blooms from your hydrangeas next year . I appreciate your kind comment. 🌸😊🤗👍
Great info! I watched few of your hydrangeas videos and understood that I pruned my hydrangeas lil too much without knowing what u shared. 🙆🏻♀️🙈 I thought it was the soil or fertilizer fix but I’m the culprit of not getting flowers Well lesson learned, thanks for sharing this info.
Thank you! I'm in zone 6 WV with hydrangea plants only 2 years old, so will check pH and make sure they get more water and more phosphorus and less nitrogen... thanks for the tips!
I'm in England and my latest hydrangea addition is the Glam Rock it is exciting waiting patiently for the first blooms ,another one is Rockstar I'm keeping my eyes open for it

I have Wedding gown hydrangeas, here in Lake Placid, Florida. I have one bush on the east side of the house and one bush on the north side. It’s so hot down here, I didn’t want to expose them to constant very hot sun. They’re doing ok….not great. I transplanted the east side one last year. It was in under the eaves, on the north side, that got the least sun and it just wasn’t doing much. Thanks for the video. It’s very informative.

👋 from Richmond, VA. My hydrangeas bloomed at the end of spring and have since dried up. I do remember my mom watering her flowers very often in the summer when I was a kid. 😕 I hope I can get them to bloom again this summer/fall.
Thanks for this great information! I am in Virginia and I am hoping my Hydrangeas start blooming as I was one of those that planted them after Mother's day in the front of my house. They were so beautiful! I cut off the dead blooms and I am hoping they come back again.
Watching from Iowa! I have endless summer and all of my blue hydrangea turned pink! I just planted them this year and as long as I water them a lot, especially on hot days like today (96 degrees) they are very happy!
Hey Jodi, so happy to hear you have hydrangea blooms this year 💃💃👍. i love when they change colors . Sounds like the PH in your soil shifted a bit . You must have planted them in the perfect spot to get blooms the first year. Well done. Yes watering is key on super hot days . Sounds like you have some super happy hydrangeas. Thank you for sharing 👏😊
I bought them as potted plants from Lowe's and I picked up 3 pink and 3 blue. Needless to say, the pink hydrangeas are super pink! 🌸 I've been trying to lower the pH of the soil, but I've haven't seen any color change yet. I'm just happy they are doing well where they are. They do actually see a little morning shade and all afternoon sun, but they are beautiful. I have some Annabelle's on the east side of my house that get morning sun and afternoon shade and they are doing well as well. Im waiting on my limelights to show up so I can enjoy those beauties too! 😍
Wow, you have all of my favorite hydrangeas👏👏 Sounds like you have a green thumb . I’ll bet your Annabelles are a gorgeous green this time of year . 🤗🌸
@@KellyLehman They are a gorgeous green! This is the first year I've really had anything besides a few potted Portulaca. My neighbors had given me some cuttings from there Annabelle's after they thinned theirs out. I've really come to like having a flower garden. It just makes me happy to see it all in it's full glory 🤗
Hi I live in the middle of Michigan and my hydrangea doesn’t bloom. I did find out not to prune in the fall . I waited till this spring to prune. I had one flower last summer. It gets the morning sun and some early afternoon sun . I do believe it was from a green house. I love,love,love hydrangea.
Thank you for making these videos and for the free advice. I'm watching from Caruthers California. A very small farming community in central California.
Good info. I’m in Knoxville. Hydrangeas are my favorite. I have 2 blue that are well established & 1 from last year that has not bloomed this year. The new one was Mother’s Day gift but it was from Lowes. I’ve fed it & keep it watered, I’m hoping it will bloom next year,
Also viewing from NWA!! I have a 4 year old huge one that has never bloomed!! This year I got 1 white circular bloom. I was so excited.. well it died and. I have an 8 foot beautiful green bush 😭😂
Hi from Morristown NJ! I had great luck with my hydrangea this summer after several years of no blooms. But I have no idea why, so I don’t really know what to continue or what to stop doing. In the meantime, you mention types of hydrangea but I have no clue as to what mine is. It only blooms once but that’s all I know. It’s probably 4-5 years old. Thanks for the videos!
Hi Donna , I made a video showing the names of different hydrangeas . I’ll link it below . Hopefully it will help you figure out which ones you are growing in tour garden . HYDRANGEA VARIETIES FOR YOUR GARDEN ➡️ ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-udMGg0IFZUo.html
@@KellyLehman After watching the video, I figure I must have an Endless Summer hydrangea, as the coloring varies among all the blooms, from vivid pink/magenta to more of a purple. They really are beautiful and I hope they continue to bloom next season. And I won't dare prune it!
Viewing from west coast of Norway. Thank you for an informative video. I am a new garden enthusiast and Hydrangeas normally thrive well in this rainy place.

Hi from Ventnor NJ. I just bought 3 endless summer hydrangeas : bloomstruck & summer crush. Your tips gave me a lot of clarification on how to care for them, thanks. I have to mention that I also have two probably 16 years old, don’t know the name hydrangeas which bloom beautifully every year accept one year when I decided to trim them short in spring, well I learned my lesson.
Hello, thank you for the information. I’m from Chicago IL zone 5 I’m waiting for my hydrangeas to bloom. Now I know that they may be too young this is the 3rd summer. Hopefully this year. I’ll let you know 😊
Hi Elena, hopefully year three will be ye charm for your hydrangeas . Most of my hydrangeas took at least 3 years to bloom . Yes , please let me know how they do. And post pics of you can on our Kelly Lehman’s Flower tribe face book group ➡️ facebook.com/groups/173080477731043/
Hello Kelly, so glad I found this video….I’m in zone 6 too! But my neighbors stole my two white hydrangeas and planted them in the front of their house!!!!! My rose bushes have lots of holes even after I cut out those leaves….please advise.
