Black spots are a fungus. In early spring treat the bushes with a fungicide.
Fill a spray bottle with 1 pint of tepid water and 1/2 tablespoon neem oil and mix well. Spray the stems and tops and bottoms of the leaves of the hydrangeas and discard the solution, as it breaks down within hours after mixing. Neem oil treats black spot and a host of other fungal diseases, such as cercospora. Spray it on the hydrangeas every seven days.
I was told mine was fungal, bought the commercial
spray and they cleared right up.
