There are also reblooming hydrangeas that flower repeatedly throughout the growing season.

These plants bloom early in the year and typically flower from May to July.

To avoid this, only prune old wood hydrangeas immediately after they flower and before plants produce new buds.

Too much intense sun and overly dry soil can cause hydrangea leaves to wilt andreduce blooming.
