Sprayed and sprayed…I think now must cut back stems as my leaves keep falling.
My previous hydrangea at my old house was planted 10 feet from a huge pine tree, and had as many as 50 flowers on it!
Use a sprinkler. I moved to Charlotte, NC from Miami, FL….
Any ideas appreciated.Thanks for the quick reply! Enjoy your hydrangeas and come to Cape Cod some July to see ours!I have a borer type insect on my large leaf hydrangeas, whitish colour, very small even with microscope, moves quickly.
I often water at night but I’ve ready that can lead to fungus problems.With all due respect, it is simply not the case that Hydrangea’s bloom on previous years wood. So usuing a sprinkler I’d be getting the leaves and flowers wet, that’s ok??
Please help, as these have been planted for at least three years and I do not want to lose them!We recently planted 3 bobo hydrangeas together. These are not evergreens – they will lose all their leaves in the winter.Test the soil by digging down, Karen – a few inches beyond the dripline – and see if the soil is wet or dry.Hi, I live in Milwaukee, WI zone 5a. Any ideas/advice, please?I put too much malathion on my hydrangeas and now the flowers are brown. I am having a hard time knowing what kind of hydrangea it is to try to read and research how to best take care of it.
The first year or two they were beautiful mop heads and one lace cap slipped in.
I’m new to gardening, and this whole change of seasons is both exciting and a curveball. The stunted leaves today are starting to blacken in places and curl. Indirect lighting in evening and shade in mornings another one faded.
I guess that’s the full name of my plant.
Did this several times for a couple of weeks every three or four days and the aphids did die. It has not affected the blooms but looks awful. The bloom heads are just starting to open and then suddenly, the bloom heads will turn brown and shrivel up.
What should I do?Hi, I live in SE Michigan and have 3 little lamb Hydrangea plants about 3 years old.
A couple of other questions if you wouldn’t mind (this is all new to me). Pray for a warmer winter!I bought three lace top Hydrangeas with beautiful blue flowers around the center. Give a bit to the “over achiever” too so it won’t feel that only small flowers get attention!My hydrangea needs help!
Not enough?Water the entire area, not just the root ball – if the soil around the root ball is dry the roots won’t grow into it and will be sucked dry themselves.
If it goes below five degrees in your area in the winter, however, this plant might not flower for your in the coming years. They look like someone too a lighter to them. They have been blue in the past.
Thanks for the help.I’ve never seen a hydrangea get damping off but it could be botrytis fungus if the plant was kept too wet. The black part is not crispy, it’s still shiny and smooth to touch. Thanks for any help!In your area this might be a bit much for Annabelles in that the flowers might brown faster in the sun from 11 to 1. They grew nicely this year, but are now developing yellow-green color in the leaves which turns to a rusty brown along the veins on the top side. Thanks!Kelly, Sometimes hydrangea flowers have random spiders in them but it’s not a given. So it looks like I’m going to have lots of small blooms but they never come out.
The shrub is very large – about 4.5 feet high and round. Can you tell me if this is fungus? I have seen no evidence of pests but wonder if it could be something else that is causing this issue. Planted at the end of this summer and looked like they were doing well. I have a beautiful potted pink hydrangea that I haven’t planted yet and is kept indoors with lots of natural sunlight. Be sure that you don’t have a watering system that is hitting the leaves frequently. You can try to remove the eggs manually but this is a very hard option and may not be successful. On doing this the flower heads imediately wilted and continued till all heads are wilted. I water every one to two days, usually in the morning.
Is this common for new plants? to the rest of the plant.I live in central Ohio. I am also confused on when to prune it and how. Do you have any ideas?
Mulch with 1″ of mulch every year to help lighten the soil from the top down. Thanks for your time. I water them once a day. I am not sure what type of hydrangea it is – the flowers go from white to pink to purplish through the season. I am zone 4 and have other other Pee Gee ornamental and Lime Light trees .
Thank you for any insight.In the meantime, be sure that the plant isn’t being hit frequently with automatic irrigation which can make any bacterial/fungal condition worse.Help, I bought two beautiful mopcap hydrangeas to plant in my front yard, which receive morning/afternoon sun until about 3:00, and they are not thriving.
