When (on the East Coast) are hydrangea supposed to bloom? I planted one last year---the leaves are beautiful,

but no flowers.

Very soon. I just planted a hydrangea and it is already in bloom. My neighbor has a really big and really old hydrangea hedge. It has not bloomed yet but it will soon. Be patient and enjoy :)
Reply:Depends on the type of Hydrangea you planted.



Smooth Hydrangea - an Annabelle type Hydrangea is setting out blooms now. They're green now and will turn white soon. Typical bloom period June - September.



Bigleaf Hydrangea - Nikko Blue type Hydrangea. Bloom period is July - August, though this plant will bloom sooner in warmer climates.



Panicle Hydrangea - Tardiva, Unique type Hydrangea. Bloom period is mid-July through September, though flowers lose color and persist into winter.



Oak Leaf Hydrangea - Bloom period is late June through July. Flower colors fade but persist on plant. Blooms earlier in warmer climates.
