How old do Pee-Gee Hydrangea's have to be to flower?
Question:I bought this pee- gee 2 summers ago and it has yet to bud. It is about 3 or 4 years old. I live in Michigan zone wise. When should I expect to see a bud or something.
Answers:
It should of bloomed by now, try giving it fertilizer and don't prune it until after you get blooms.
addition details:
I think that it is a little small for it's age. It definitely needs more sun and I would suggest fertilizing it every week and a half. It would be best if you could plant it in the ground, but if not try to re-pot it using a very good soil mixture of potting soil, some sand, some vermiculite, a little bit of peat moss and Osmacoat, not sure of spelling but it is a pellet form of
fertilizer. After that make sure it gets watered adequately and at least 6 hours of afternoon sun. If possible try to use some mulch on the top of soil. A simple wood bark, not cypress. Don't prune it till next year after April. I Hope this helps. Good luck!
They usually flower right away . They start in August . If it's only 2 years old , I wouldn't worry about . Did you prune it at all? Probably shouldn't do it after May , or you might eliminate the flowers . Make sure it doesn't get so dry that it wilts . That could kill the flowers .
i live in newfoundland and i have 2 bushes, the second summer after planting they produce flowers. i feed them every 2 weeks after the leaves come out until fall.
