Question

Will not having enough water cause the leaves to turn yellow?

Community Answer

Yellow leaves are often a sign of a nitrogen deficiency which can be caused by a pH problem in the soil.

Question

My flowers are turning brown, what should I do?

Community Answer

The blooms all start to die after a couple of weeks. Usually there is a hint of pink or blue (depending on your soil) before they turn brown and die altogether. Clip them off.

Question

I had little lime hydrangeas for two years. This year after we had a lot of rain, they all started to droop. If there anything I can do so they don't droop?

Community Answer

Make sure they don't get too much rain . If they get too much, they "drown," and can't absorb as much sun or nutrients as they normally would.

Question

Should I cut off the dead or brown blooms from my Limelight Hydrangeas?

Community Answer

Do it in early spring when new buds appear. The old flower heads protect the plant from frost and add winter interest.
