My Hydrangea petiolaris is at least ten years old and growing up the north
side of  our garage. Additional shade is provided by a healthy crab apple
tree and a Viburnum. The Hydrangea has never ever shown even the slightest
interest in blooming. So some sunlight must be necessary.

with the blooms of minor bulbs (Scilla, Chionodoxa, Puschkinia, etc.)
