Hydrangea with no blooms

Hi,

I'm a novice gardener and I have planted a Hydrangea in my front garden from B&Q about 3 weeks ago.

I've planted in a position I think that is appropriate per the label. I have taken care not to over or under water it.

My question is since I have planted the hydrangea, the orginal 2 flowers are still there but no new buds have appeared. The leaves look healthy and green.

I planted two other plants - some fuschias a week later next to it but these were planted with some miracle grow fertiliser and these are doing well with new buds appearing.

I have searched extensively on the internet as to why my hydrangea are not blooming and the only conclusion I reach that's appropriate is that there is too much nitrogen in the soil, possibly from some of the fertiliser I mixed into the soil when planting the other plants.

Would there be any other reason for no buds appearing?
Also if the problem is too much nitrogen, is leaching the only solution to making the plant bloom? I read on the internet maybe adding mulch might help but I am not sure. Please someone help as I feel very disheartened!!!!!!

 

It might be still settling in.
I would think any blooms this year would be a bonus.
Expect some flowers next year.

 

Hiya uzma, please just relax
Do you know what type of hydrangea you have? Check the label.
Buds will probably not appear this year now. It needs time to settle. Hydrangeas likea lot of water but dont go mad and dont water every day for the sake of it.
I'm sure there is no problem....the internet is full of worrying but misleading info.
Your hydrangea is a plant for flowering next year. Just let it settle in

 

Hi @uzma isa , I agree with Pushkin. Hydrangeas are not " instant " flowerers like Fuchsias. Thet need a couple of years to settle in. We planted a Hydrangea " Annabelle " two years ago and although we had a couple of heads on it last year this year it has really taken off. It's about 3' tall and has about 8 or 9 heads on it. Just be patient, next year it should be a lot better

 

I agree, I have 13 types, and they like to have their roots settled in first. some don't show for 2 years because of it. just hang in there.

 

Thank you for your replies. Will do just that.
