Here is an explanation for netizens about when the Endless Summer hydrangea blooms and a brief introduction to the ornamental plant and flower aspects of enjoying its blooming period. Let's follow the editor to take a look!
Hydrangeas have a certain ornamental value, but they are more appealing after they bloom. Therefore, keeping a pot of hydrangeas outdoors is an excellent choice. However, many people do not know when hydrangeas bloom. In fact, they usually bloom after June and look very beautiful after blooming. So, how many times do hydrangeas bloom in a year? Let's find out together with the editor.
【One, When do hydrangeas bloom】
Since the blooming period of hydrangeas is from June to August, they usually bloom in June. Although the blooming period is relatively short, they look very beautiful after blooming and are highly ornamental. If you want to change the color of the hydrangea, you can also choose to change the soil, in which case the color of the hydrangea will change with the soil.
The color of the flowers will also appear more unique, and raising the temperature can extend the viewing period. However, high temperatures can cause the flowers to fade quickly. Hydrangeas are short-day plants, requiring more than 10 hours of darkness per day and about 45-50 days to form flower buds. Potted hydrangeas are commonly grown in pots of 15-20 centimeters.
【Two, How many times do hydrangeas bloom in a year】
Hydrangeas usually bloom in June every year. Some flower enthusiasts ask if hydrangeas bloom multiple times a year. In fact, they only bloom once. However, because the characteristic of the Endless Summer hydrangea is that both new and old branches bloom, the flowers on the old branches often bloom long after the new branches start to bloom, creating an illusion of blooming twice.

So, hydrangeas generally only bloom once and do not bloom multiple times. However, in a few special cases, they can bloom twice, but it requires special methods and careful care. Only experienced gardeners can achieve this. Therefore, it is very difficult to make hydrangeas bloom twice.
【Three, Reasons why hydrangeas do not bloom】
<1. Improper pruning>
The blooming period of hydrangeas is from June to August. After the blooming period, it is necessary to prune the flower branches to reduce nutrient loss. If the plant grows too vigorously and is heavily pruned in early spring, it is difficult to form flower branches from June to August, resulting in reduced or no blooming.
<2. Insufficient light>
Hydrangeas cultivated at home are limited by conditions and receive less sunlight, which can cause the leaves to grow excessively and result in poor growth. The excessive consumption of nutrients by the leaves can lead to insufficient nutrition during flower bud differentiation, affecting blooming. Therefore, proper lighting is necessary.
<3. Excessive nitrogen fertilizer>
