You could use Blinds - Vertical or Horizontal - Roller,Roman, Slat etc. Or how about Stranded Door Curtains they come in Plain or Patterned designs.
Hi Charlotte...I also am a Hydrangea lover however sometimes they are a little fickle. I have some that bloom so well and I have one right now that hasn't bloomed at all this year. Sometimes it takes a while but in your case, it's been 20 years. Maybe you will have to move it to a better spot. It could be that the soil where it has been living no longer provide the nutrients that it needs to flourish. Good Luck!
Move the plant to a location close to a sidewalk or brick wall of some sort. When you dig the new hole, fill it with pine straw or put a few pieces of old concrete in the hole before the plant. Hydrangeas LOVE acid and want to be close to something that provides it which brick and concrete do.
DO NOT cut the dried stic like branches!!! New growth will grow on them with blooms! Never ever cut off the dead looking parts until it is completely full of leaves & blooms and only then should you remove what looks dead. Shouldn't be very many. Good luck! Sorry, your hubby is wrong.
the type of hygrangea might bloom on old wood. Your planting zone might also be too cold. In MN, we call them florist hydrangeas. I bring mine in the house each winter and winter out of the cold. Then they do bloom for me again outside. we need hygrangeas that bloom only on new wood.
I would move it to the south side o of the house. Afternoon sun is much too hot for hydrangeas.
