The key to ensuring hydrangeas withstand the cold and bloom beautifully in summer is surprisingly simple
As winter approaches, those concerned about their hydrangeas should heed this essential advice: sometimes, less is more. Contrary to common gardening practices like pruning or feeding, the key to ensuring your hydrangeas withstand the cold and bloom beautifully in summer is surprisingly simple – do nothing for the time being.
The consensus among them is to forego regular upkeep and allow the plants to enter a dormant state until warmer weather arrives. Leela Wright, an experienced gardener, offered words of comfort to her peers: "It's just gone to sleep until spring. Don't worry, it'll wake up bigger and stronger. Just leave it alone for now."
Elaine Marie shared her advice: "It's not dead! Mine looks a lot worse, but the best thing to do now is leave it alone and deadhead in spring."
