Hydrangeas take years to bloom. In their first year, they form strong roots that anchor the shrub and provide an ideal foundation for growth. The second year is when buds start to form, although flowers don’t bloom yet. It’s usually by the third or fourth year that you’ll be graced with abundant blooms of vibrant colors in spring and summer.
After several years of establishing a root system and growing healthy foliage, hydrangeas transform landscapes into picturesque gardens with flowering shrubs. They are always surprised by their dynamic and ever-changing colors, which come alive as hot summer days roll around.
Undeniably, hydrangeas require patience and proper care to flourish; however, when given the attention, these beauties truly reward you with a show-stopping display each year!
