I planted a Pee Gee hydrangea last fall. It leafed out this spring and still has its leaves but has done nothing else. The plant did not bloom. Now what?

It's worth waiting through the next season to see what happens. Hydrangeas prefer woodland conditions: continually moist soil and light to medium shade. Feed hydrangeas once in the spring with either water-soluble or granular fertilizer according to product instructions. Pruning may or may not be a factor. If the plant was cut back, the buds may have been removed. The rule of thumb with most flowering shrubs is that you prune them after they have bloomed (within a two-week period during the growing season) so you don't sacrifice next year's blossoms. Prune in the spring if they are really uneven; otherwise, leave them alone.
