Non-blooming Hydrangea

Question: My hydrangea won't bloom. It's had only one flower in six years. Why won't it bloom? Am I pruning it at the wrong time?

Answer: Pruning at the wrong time of year is just one of the reasons your hydrangea may not be blooming. (Late spring, after the flowers fade, is the best time to prune most hydrangeas.)
