My hydrangea plant is huge!! However, it's not blooming! Why?

Ok....The problem is that you prune it every fall! Seriously! Hydrangeas only bloom on OLD growth. When you prune it, you are removing that old growth, and the buds that would be making the flowers next year.





After the leaves drop, you will see BUDS on the side of the stems.....those are the buds that will make next year's flowers. Each one will make one flower, so prune with caution.





If it's too big for you, prune it NOW, so that it will have time to grow new buds for next year. There is a new hybrid variety that will bloom on new branches. I bought a few of those this year, so I'm anxious to see what they look like next year.

Reply:some of these plants will bloom as late as August. It depends on the type you have. I have some that bloom in June,July, and August. So give it a few weeks to wait and see
