[john1066]

Why hav'nt my Hydrangeas fiowered this year?

[Count-A-Strong]

Dunno. Ours did. Lovely bright link blooms.

[Prudie]

Mine have flowered but much smaller blooms than usual, I put it down to the hard winter.

[treetops1]

One of ours has, the other caught the late frost we had.

[coccinelle]

Did you prune it too late?

[DEN53]

John - my hydrangea has'nt flowered this year either and last year I had one flower.

[mrs_overall]

Give it a hard prune next spring

[john1066]

Thanks for your answers....I think pruning could be the answer...x

You must have pruned it incorrectly last year and cut out the new growth by mistake, or you removed the old flower heads which protect the new growth from frost in the winter. Leave well alone this winter and cover with a fleece or old net curtains when frosts are forecast

[LoftyLottie]

Mine have been wonderful this year because I pruned them really early. Last year I left it late and had no flowers. They need pruning really early before any new growth starts or not at all.

My hydrangeas are magnificent this year.
I always wait until spring when there is SOME new growth, so I can see to cut off the old growth only.

[LoftyLottie]

Yes, true Mrs O. If you don't touch the new growth then should be OK.
