It's supposed to be super easy to grow, but this year my hydrangea has not been looking well. Do you know what is wrong with it?..

Hi,
I am having the same problem with mine, I am constantly scouring forums to find if anyone else has the same problem
lets hope we can get an answer from here. Ray Sherlock
mine too,and my neighbours,althou its starting to look better in the last few days.
It looks starved and dehydrated to me
In the sticks near Peterborough
agree with nutcutlet, as usual
but maybe also sun scorch?
Nut, I was just going to say "Hungry and Thirsty"

That's why I don't grow them. I can offer food but it's too dry here for them to make a good show.

Same here - they were fine in my last damp northfacing garden - they need too much watering here - but Wonky's got cuttings from mine

They grow beautifully in Northern Ireland... perhaps its the 'soft' weather, personally could do with some sunshine and warmth
Same here cathy - in central/west Scotland. They grow like weeds
The OP's shrub looks as nut describes. I'd get some nutrition into the soil, keep it well watered, and mulched to keep the moisture in. Give it some room to breathe too - the more plants there are round it, the more the soil is robbed of moisture and nutrients.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
At a guess it may be a bit elderly and congested too - get it growing well and take some cuttings - they root so easily - then in a couple of years you'll have a replacement and some for your friends too
