My hydrangea is developing some brown like markings on leaves. It is pot grown has been in the pot for about 3-4 yrs I put some new compost in earlier in the year and also fed with CHICKEN MUCK Have I overdone the feeding
One thing is that it may need re potting (they need this every so often) and not so much chicken manure ,a good compost and a bigger pot and water well, feed mainly when in flower with a comfrey feed or chopped leaves of comfrey .If you want it to be blue and you have dandylions in your garden dig these up and make into solution and 50 mls to litre of water to feed plant will hopefully turn the leaves blue.
Yes we have had it very hot in East Midlands, and it is already in a very large pot so i'll keep watering well when its hot, should I take the affected leaves off or leave leave them on

I find my hydrangeas do this in strong sunlight - we've had sunny weather recently - I suspect that is the cause and that it is no need for concern

There's no need to remove them.
