Susan,
My H. quercifolia is a rooted cutting from last fall. It is planted in
dry shade with only some late afternoon sun and is currently being swamped
by a huge swath of tall garden Phlox. But in spite of all that, it is knee
high and has one nice big flower on it right now. How about trying some
"bloom" fertilizer? Like MorBloom or anything with a high "P" number? I
have about a dozen or so different Hydrangeas and they are all blooming.
Even the babies still in 4" pots. They are so precocious. Perhaps your
plant is genetically a slow bloomer like the Lilac I had to threaten with
the chainsaw after 5 years.

Mine is about 3 years old and as tall and wide. No blooms yet. Is this
typical? It is in a bit of a difficult location, dryish semi-shade. I give
it extra water and it looks healthy.
When they DO bloom, is it with the other hydrangeas? I have a BRAND NEW h.
paniculata that has blooms (in a different location) and it's less than 1/2
the size of the h. quercifolia.
If I need to move it I will, but I'd like to leave it there if it will
eventually bloom. All help is appreciated.
