My daughter gave me this beauty 3-5 years ago for Mothers Day. I planted it in the garden only to watch it grow full of leaves, year after year, but no flowers. After a sad Google, I decided it must be one of those hothouse shrubs that dies back each year, and will never produce flowers. This May, I went around with a shovel to put it out of its misery, and lo and behold--flower buds!
It ended up producing the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen on a hydrangea. Can anyone tell me the type I have? I want more!
Northern Virginia, USA. No amendments to soil--just fall leaves.
