Anybody got any advice as to how I can help this hydrangea? (pictured) It was looking great but flowers are definitely dying now. Others I've seen are showing no signs of this so I figure it's not normal! Is there any chance it will become healthy again?
Because I can't see any photos right now, I can suggest it's either 2 things. The flowers have simply 'gone over' and are past their best. There was extreme hot weather recently, and sometimes, this accelerates growth and flowering times. The other thing, if you have just bought these plants, many retailers like to force the flowering and they are usually flowering too early, so if you compared your Hydrangeas with other poeple's, you may find their plants are starting to flower now.
Apart from the flowers, it's also important to look at the leaves. If they're looking fresh and not dried/droopy, then I think it's nothing to worry about.
