This was planted from a cutting from the previous owners bush. It is going on the third spring and it is having a hard time I think. It...Read More has produced only eight blooms at most. It has only about four seperate stocks and I don't know if it is in the wrongspot. It is planted on a slope in clay and compost soil on the north west side of the house. I have put manure on it and have watered it but I am sure it probably runs off down the hill. I have mulched it and put rocks also in the soil to hold moisture. It has very slow growth but has improved from a little stick. Should I risk moving it? I would love to have it bigger but almost giving up.

I picked the oak leaf hydrangea, because of the fact that it will have great color, and not get as big as the plants i had where the oak leaf is now..

It is planted next to our house in a sheltered location where it gets sun (when it's out - this is Ithaca, folks!) except hot afternoons. The soil is clay, but well drained, being near the foundation.

I'm not sure why it hasn't bloomed, it appears healthy. At least it puts on a nice show in fall!

Information about this plant relates that the flowers should be 6-8" long, held upright, and should not bend or arch. They should turn pink as they mature. This is a more compact grower, possibly 6' high at maturity, slower growing than some. Prof. Dirr observes no damage at -22 degrees F. A Princeton Nursery introduction.
