I have several hydrangeas, mulch them during the summer, are in semishade, do not cut them in the spring. But they usually have 3-5 flowers. Tell me your recipe how to make them bloom so richly as yours, please.

Katarina, as I don't know the area where you live the only way I can help you is to say it may be the PH of your soil, it needs to be alkaline, old mortar rubble will help in the ground around your Hydrangeas.

What is old mortar rubble? You mean like mortar rubble from old buildings??? It is rich in Ca, isnĀ“t it?
I would like to say, that my H. are planted in old apple grow, so it is rich in humus. I have H. panniculata, H. quercifolia, H. macrophylla and H. grandiflora, byt just H. macrophylla has problems to bloom.

Yes Katarina that's what old mortar rubble is, it will make your ground more alkaline. Is it possible to move your H macrophylla to another place, don't
feed it this year.
Hope that might help.

The problem is, that I moved H. macrophylla twice in 3 years, namely for the reason it did not bloom much. I always added a lot of turf into the nest, as I read that is what Hydrangeas need.
So does it mean, that H. macrophyla is not acidophilic hydrangea?

I have just sent a private message Katarina so have a look out for that.
