1 Blushing Bride and 1 Forever and Ever (?)..potted up last fall..spent the winter in the shed..used a fertilizer with a higher phosphorus number..still no blooms :( ..maybe in year 2?..they were very small when potted..the thinner looking one has a lot of new stems at the base..to anyone who's growing in a pot - did yours bloom?

I would not panic yet. Some reblooming hydrangeas need to attain some height and have a good root system before setting buds.

The plants should be thanking you. They look very nice in the pictures!!! I am always concerned of trying that with hydrangeas due to the hot weather here.
