@ECBG  Thank you, but I think fertilization is the reason, really makes a huge difference.

I want to tour your gardens.  Everything is beautiful.

So beautiful!  I have the opposite problem.  I have a very old and large hydrangea that I think has died.  Fifteen years ago when I moved into this house it bloomed, not a nice as yours, but still.  The next year only a few blooms and then it stopped getting any flowers at all, but the leave come up nicely.  This year there has been nothing at all.  I decided to cut it almost to the ground.  The stems even look dead but I am not sure if it will come back.  What do you think?  Is there anything I can do to help it along?

@Biftu  Do you normally cut it back?  Some hydrangeas bloom on new wood, some on old, and some on both.  Fertilizing does wonders.  I just happen to use Cottage Farms acidic fertilizer, but of course anything suitable for hydrangeas will work.  Hydrangeas are pretty tough, so it may come back.  If it does, I wouldn't cut it again or you may cut off the buds for the following year's blooms.  Please google as you will get more thorough information than I can give.

there is excellent information on google for anything, which is what I do if I have a question about growing/planting something.

Love!  I have a pistachio I am waiting  for to bloom.  It is small but growing larger each year!  LM

I have a 'Pistachio' as well awaiting bloom! 'Wedding Gown' was cut almost to the ground due to dead stems. It's now at 18" high and surprise surprise -- it blooms on new wood! I am waiting to see white flowers soon.
