Question from
Karen Bunting
I have a well-established hydrangea growing in a very large oak barrel in semi-shade - last year 1 flower (slugs??) but this year no flowers at all and the leaves seem very pale green. I have replaced 1/3 of the compost in the barrel and fed with seaweed liquid - any more suggestions?

Question from
Pat Gornall
Does anyone have any tips for encouraging an established, healthy climbing hydrangea to flower? Maybe I'm not pruning it correctly?
