leggy oakleaf

18 years ago

I planted a gallon size oakleaf hydrangea "Alice" in my backyard bed in partial shade. THe first year it bloomed wonderfully. Last year it was leggy and had no blooms. This year, it is budding, but it is embarassingly leggy! That is, it's about 2 1/2 feet tall, but leaves are present only on the top 6" of the shrub! What's going on, and what can I do about it?
