Most likely they are not doing well because of the soil condition. Di you amend the soil at all before planting?
Have your soil checked to see what adjustments you need to make to it. And hydrangeas need lots of sunshine and do well on the north side of a house. I will suggest moving them to a sunny spot after you've had your soil tested. Take suggestions from whoever does the soil testing for you. Good luck.
Last year I saw two gorgeous Endless Summer Hydrangea that were grown in containers. The owner said he overwinters them in his unheated garage. They were stunning!
At the end of the day, if they've been there 10 years with such poor results I'd say move them and plant something else in that area.
Thanks, I have amended the soil several times. I believe I'll replant into containers. I dont want to lose my hydrangeas .
Hydrangeas do well in acid soil. Dump your daily coffee grounds in the soil around plants . They do need some sunlight and breathing space along with room around each plant stop trimming them yearly! Barbara M. G.
I'm not an expert, I'm thinking the pine needles themselves added with shade could be the problem. My grandmother gardened her whole life and mentioned some plants can be somewhat toxic to other plants. Another Example if you have a sick rose bush dont replant a new (rose) one in same spot the desise will just carry to new one. I'm wondering if pine needles themselves can be causing poor growth?? Just a thought.
You don't have to dry out coffee grounds before dumping them into theSOIL! The photo shot doesn't look like any place I've ever seen on California. It's definitly green country. Maybe it should be watered more often, looks like side of the road location. Bad when dumped on during snow season.
