| I planted 3 hydrangeas ( 2 Gallon size ) last May, bought from the local nursery. 2 of them are Nikko Blue and one is some pink variety. They flowered good last year after I planted them. This spring I see all the branches still bare and the leaves are coming up from the base. I saw some of the neighbours hydrangeas are growing leaves on their branches. I snapped top part of the branches of to see whther they are dead and they snapped like hard wood. Is there any chance of them to come back? Should I cut back all the bare branches? Or should I exchange the plants ( I still have 1 year warranty, but about to expire in couple of weeks) ANy info is appreciated. Also to make the Nikko blue hydrangeas to have blue color what fertilizer I should put and can I fertilize now? |
| a complete slow release granular fertilizer such as 10-10-10 should be adequate, read and follow the label instructions. Good luck with your hydrangeas. Maybe they will leaf out this coming week. a complete slow release granular fertilizer such as 10-10-10 should be adequate, read and follow the label instructions. Good luck with your hydrangeas.
