Flowering !!!
Question from
I am considering dumping this hydrangea after 10 years with I recall one flower in year 2 ! With layering it is so easy to reproduce. I have one on sunny West brick wall in Wiltshire, another on West brick wall on South Coast, and one on a North Wall in Wiltshire. All are in clay, but I have done no feeding with my home-made compost, or any other feed. I have sort of forgotten about them, but they certainly grow, but don't seem to cling well, but shoot up corners. HELP !

How long before it will Flower
Question from
Our hydrangea seemani is in its third summer and shows no sign of flowereing. Is this normal or should it be flowereing by now? It is on north facing wall and has grown to a height of about 8ft. with a spread of 3-4ft.
