Don't cut your new growth back as this may (or probably will) affect your blooms for next year. August starts tomorrow...

You might not get any blooms this year. I've got Endless Summer, Blushing Bride, Twist-n-Shout, Penny Mac, and a few more "re-bloomers" but they are done as far as I can tell.

Get a variety of hydrangeas so you won't be totally disappointed in the future. Oakleaf, Paniculata, Arborescens (Annabelle, Incrediball, etc.), and a cool one is Involucrata (Blue Bunny). My Blue Bunny is in its second summer and about to bloom again (not heavy bloomer but cool blooms nonetheless).

Here are a few hydrangeas from this morning. Snowflake (over but still lovely), Vanilla Strawberry, Limelight, Pinky Winky, and Phantom
