I have a hydragea that blooms beautifully WHEN it does...but most years it doesn't bloom at all. Does anyone know what might cause the problem? It grows wonderfully all summer...and when it's time to bloom, it gets black or brown spots on the leaves and doesn't produce any blooms. Thanks for your help!What causes a hydragea to not bloom?
Sounds like your hydrangea may have a problem with fungal infection (maybe botrytis blight?), which may very well be preventing bloom. Check out these sites to identify.

If you feed it too much nitrogen it can cause a lot of leaf and no bloom. Use a fertilizer like Mir-acid for acid loving flowering shrubs and fertilize at the right time in the spring and don't over fertilize. To much can make the bush prone to diseases.
