Hello to all my new gardening friends. I live in Southern Ontario, Zone 5B. My favourite plants are hostas, ferns, elephant ears and I guess any large foilage plant. I am looking forward to interacting with everyone.....Wayne

Hi! I've been visiting this website for years and I just joined the forum.
I'm from Connecticut and am a pretty miserable gardener but I am fairly decent with house plants.
I have a question regarding a hydrangea I've had in my garden for about 5 years.
I was advised to cut it all the way back in the fall. Last year I read that was a bad idea and that the plant would not bloom under those circumstances.
So, last fall I didn't cut it back.
This summer, the foliage was beautiful but not a single flower appeared.
Any suggestions?
