annep1 Do you feed your hydrangea and water it regularly? I give mine Miraclegro every spring and plenty of water, but the weather conditions also make a difference. One of mine has gone completely bonkers this year with huge mop heads like dinner plates, and has grown about 2 feet since last year.

That's beautiful.
I can't seem to grow them. They get to about 2ft with a few flowers then the next year either no flowers or dead.
annodomini, I don't know if there is a Lidl near you, but I bought two small hydrangeas in pots there, for £1.99 each at the beginning of the summer.
I forgot to water them for a few days and they started to die off. 
.
However, I managed to recue and repot them and they are growing like nothing on earth, with beautiful pink flowers.
My other hydrangeas are blue and purple, so this is an added bonus.
I enjoy having flowers in the house and the make beautiful cut flowers.
Gilly, they are beautiful.
I bought 6 potted hydrangeas from a Homebase closing down sale for £1 each 2 years ago they are dotted around in pots. The ones in full sun seem to be doing better than the ones in partial shade. Some of them are turning pink, they have conical shaped flowers, I don’t know the variety. I think they are getting too big for the pots so may have to pot on when they have died down for the winter.
