Climbing hydrangea has flower buds but won't bloom
Comments (3)They actually ARE flowering!! What you see are the fertile flowers of a climbing hydrangea. The larger, showy but sterile flowers are missing. This is a factor of both time established in the garden and the age of the plant. You just need to be more patient - the typical lacecap type flower heads will appear eventually but not quite so soon. In fact, it is surprising to me that you seeing any sort of flowering on a climbing hydrangea in only the second year....See MoreDeer ate most of my hydrangea buds
Comments (10)I have a cheaper solution and it works as good as Deer Out even better. Take one beaten egg and mix with water. Take out the white little vein called Chalazae that anchors the yolk in the center of egg as it plugs the spray bottle. Find a spray bottle like size of tilex and fill to top with water. It smells badly because of the sulphur and deters the deer and rabbits etc. Make sure to spray after a rain. Smell lasts long time. Good luck. It really works....See Morehydrangea paniculata brown buds
Comments (5)And I would also expect that heat had everything to do with this :-) Planting anything during a midsummer heat wave and possible drought (depending on your location) can have adverse effects that only compound normal transplant shock. Water does help - long and slow and not too frequently. And some shade during the hottest part of the day might also be helpful....See Morehow long do limelight hydrangeas take to bloom once you see buds?
Comments (12)If it has those round fertilizer pellets that nurseries give them, I would not feed them at all until next year. When the plant is grown in the ground and the soil has no mineral deficiencies, give them 1 cup or organic compost, composted manure or cottonseed meal after your average date of last frost until they become established and let them be. They are not heavy hungry feeders like roses. MG formulations can have a lot of nitrogen so be careful when in pots. After they become established in the garden, you can quit fertilizing them (but again, provided there are no mineral deficiencies, provided you always mulch and the plant is not growing in a pot). Maintain 2-4" of mulch year around. This time of the year, maintain the soil as evenly moist as you can. Not dry but also not wet or soggy....See Moretaras1949
