Granted, it has been a heck of a summer in the Northeast (zone 6) with a lot of rain and very few hot days. This is my second season with 4 Hydrangea 'Hornli', which are dwarfs. One put out 3 blooms, another put out 1 bloom, and the others none. I have heard that hydrangeas might not bloom if they're planted too deeply. How can I tell now (with full foliage) or next spring (before shoots have emerged), if any are planted too deeply? Secondly, how and when should I "raise" them? Lastly, here in the Northeast, is it preferable to plant hydrangeas in full sun rather than part shade?
