I planted a new hydrangea and it is dying faster and faster every day. It gets plenty of sun and water. It is planted near the wall of the house. Oh, and I have fertilized it as the garden center told me to with fertilizer for new plants. Here is the big question. Every plant that I plant in that area shrivels up and dies. Every one! Annuals and perennials! It is an area that really needs something really pretty. What should I do? (Short of planting silk flowers..lol)
