Don't cut them back, some hydrangeas bloom on the old stems that look dead...also if you had a late spring frost this will nip the buds for the blooms, ..
Reply:Depending on your zone the older hydrangea plants have problems with late frost.I had two out front that made it seven years without a bloom.I decided to relocate them to the landfill.I planted a couple of new hybrids and my hydrangea problems went away.
Reply:they need acidic soil--try miracle gro's version miracid
Reply:likely missing something in the soil.

Bring a soil sample to your garden center.

They will tell youwhat you need



Try putting some egg shells around the bottoms during the cold months to fertilize them
Reply:Most likely you are cutting them back, do not !

Also do not use too much Nitrogen fertilizer- it promotes lush foliage but not flowers. Don't fertilize this year if that's the mistake.
Reply:cover the soil around them with pine needles and mulch...make sure the pine needles are very wet when placing them there so they will decompose into the soil...the mulch should help with the decomposition as well...
