Why won't my hydrangeas bloom?
Comments (5)Hydrangeas sold at grocery stores - like Trader Joe's - are manipulated into bloom at an early age and often, out of season. Once they have finished up with the flowers and buds they come with, they are done for that season.....and maybe even for a couple of seasons. They need time to establish in the garden and put on some maturity before they can be expected to flower again and to produce flowers of typical size. In zone 9/10, winterkill of buds is not an issue but the previous comments about pruning times are relevant. If you want a hydrangea expected to produce flowers consistantly and of "normal" size, purchase a plant intended for the landcape from a nursery or garden center. Grocery store hydrangeas, aka florist's hydrangeas, are intended as blooming houseplants or gift plants, although they can usually be transitioned into the garden well.....given time :-)...See Morewhy my salvia greggii wont bloom?
Comments (10)All of my Salvias have been slow to bloom this summer, after a fast start because of the warm spring. Maybe the current weather patterns have fooled them into thinking they need to bloom later in the season. This has happened before. As partial conformation of that, I took some Salvia cuttings at Tony Avent's Plant Delights on August 4, and again last weekend. That was on account of the fact that they just sat there and did not root in the high 80s to low 90's weather. When I got back to visit his trial garden, some of the Salvia specimens had suffered, probably a residual effect of the ten day 100 degree spell. I've noticed from posts in the past that this is not just a North Carolina phenomenon, but seems to involve most of the USA. Maybe I should start another thread to poll everyone else on this subject....See MoreWhy won't my daffodils bloom???
Comments (5)Since you mention several months time frame, it's possible that they were actually affected by the big cold front that came in early March in your area. 4 of them already look like the color of fading blooms. However, you can keep them on as long as the bloom stalk is still healthy looking and it could be that in your local area, they will still be coming up (though I have seen many people's daffodils already in bloom, but I can't say if yours are late since there are daffodils with different bloom times)...See MoreWhy wont my climbing Queen Elizabeth bloom?
