this one's also a bit old, so you may have had a reply on it. But, FWIW, I
don't think you ought to move this child again right away unless it is
going to get too big for the location it's in...Dirr says it can get 15 to
25 feet tall. How big is it? This is a shrub type hydrangea and may need
to put on some growth before it blooms. I don't grow it, but Dirr also
says it blooms on new wood and blooms in July....in sun to part shade.

> Does anyone have ideas for encouraging my PeeGee hydrangea to bloom? It
was first planted (as a youngster) in a large container in potting soil,
and didn't bloom. Then I transplanted it traumatically (the rootball kind
of fell apart) into a corner of my azalea/pine/camellia bed where even
after taking out the pines, it gets only half a day of sun. This was 3
years ago and I have yet to see the first bloom. The soil is amended clay,
on the acid side. Should I move it to another home?
