    I moved into a new house couple months ago. Totally new to gardening.

    These plants are in front of my house. They were blooming beautifully last week but the flowers have started drooping and looking very sad. Can u pls tell me what’s happening and what I can do?

    It’s south east facing, very sunny but strongly windy recently here in Manchester. I’m not sure if it’s because of the sun or the wind?

    Probably a combination of both,it has been very dry recently, so a drop of water won't hurt.
    But maybe those ones do tend to droop a bit. :smile:

      I gree with @pete that a little water wouldn't harm but those are English bluebells (as opposed to the Spanish variety) and tend to take that shape once the flowers have developed properly.

        Not sure if its an Azalea/rhododendron?
        It likes a bit of dampness, if it is, as does the bluebells, they both like a bit of dappled shade as well.
