Hydrangeas

[bethbilly]

Why have my hydrangeas not flowered well this year ,I have two Bush type which have only one flower head each (mind you one was a lovely deep blue ) the other was pink . I also have a tall erect one with conical flowers which go white pink then turn to red it was fine flowering all summer,

Hi, lots of people have had the same problems including me. I love hydrangeas, but this year mine have had only a few flowers, the conical ones that normally flower in July and gradually turn pink are still cream coloured but dying off. a guy at our local garden centre said it was becasue of a late frost that killed off the buds. Hydrangeas flower on this years browth so many plants had to start again.

I think, a lot of it is to do with changes in weather patterns, there are hardy any acorns on the oak trees this year.
