The hostas look great! The hydrangea has two flower buds just starting to open so it is happy too.
I hear you. My mild winters, with their temperature ups and downs, are also a problem as that makes them break dormancy early and then late...
Depending on how much you added (if beyond the product label's instructions), you could physically remove the excess with your fingers (I am...
If you have a soil deficiency, I would expect nearby plants to also be affected since hydrangeas are normally not heavy feeders. The only times...
At this very late date in May, only late blooming camellia japonicas will -maybe- still have blooms. If you are going to order via mail order...

If you are not exhibiting roses, use organic compost, composted manure, cottonseed meal or a general purpose, slow release chemical fertilizer....
I did not think much about the pros and cons but, I never had root rot issues with potted camellias. The bottom layer of the pot had some gravel,...
Yes, compost it first. It is normally not a great idea to add fresh chicken manure to an actively growing garden. That is because poultry manure...
That would depend on the look that you are trying to achieve and whether it is starting to actively grow/bloom now. I would plan a light pruning...
