Its my first time taking care of an hydrangea and all of the flowers dried out :( The app suggests its a fungus, but what do you all think ?

    Personally I just think the flowers are spent. Were they in bloom earlier? This looks like the natural progression of flowering to me and they can be pruned off at this time.

      They bloomed early may! It was pretty warm early in Canada so it might be

    Wait upon closer look, maybe not. Is the whole bush looking dead?

      There is some green stems and healthy leaves, but generally, the whole bush looks like this

    It’s hard to tell if it’s a fungal infection. It definitely looks like it dried out. The weeds around it are adept at using moisture and nutrients from the soil. They are too close to your decorative plants. Dig a garden bed around them or clear a 3” diameter area around the plants. Remove the weeds and stones. Add 6” of mulch around the plant.

    If the leaves and stems are still green, your Hydrangeas will flower next season. These require TONS of water and prefer light but not full sun. This summer’s east coast has been horrendous so the weather could have contributed to its demise. Research your soil as well so your new bushes will thrive and bloom beautifully. Good luck.

    I have had hydrangeas for a long time and that’s just what they look like after their blooms dry up. Prune the flower stalks off and keep the “trunk” and the flowers should return next year good as new
