Is there any hope for this Hydrangea? It’s been like this for 6 weeks now and doesn’t seem to be growing😕

    I would say dying but not gone yet


    In the sticks near Peterborough

    I agree, if it hasn't grown for 6 weeks it's probably on the way out, sadly.

    Oh no! Any tips on how to revive it or is it too late?

    😢 such a shame. We moved house and then had a baby so it was neglected for a while. It’s a beautiful lace cap one. Looked amazing last year!

    You could try feeding it maybe with a general purpose fertilizer,fork it in lightly. Keep it well watered but don't drown it. It may respond to some TLC. Got to be worth a try as you love it so much  :)

    Ok, thank you, I’ll try that!
    Fingers crossed it survives!

    I’d say it’s dead, time to go I’m afraid.

    Are they supposed to be cut down to ground level 😦

    Oh no really? My husband has said to keep it and see what happens!

    It had to be as it was mostly dead. So it was ‘hard pruned’.
