Question Of The Week
I live in Michigan and have a question about blue hydrangeas.
I’ve had them for three years and they get plenty of light.

I feed them with food for acid-loving plants, but they’ve never bloomed.
Well, it could be a couple of reasons why your hydrangeas aren’t blooming.
And if they’re not blooming, you may be pruning them at the wrong time.
You may have heard of the types calledEndless Summer,and there’s lots of other ones.
And that way you’ll have good insurance on getting blooms that year.
They’re very easy to grow, they like a sunny, well drained spot.
They have several different colors.
I haven’t seen hardly any pest problems associated with them.
