What's wrong with my hydrangea #872196

Asked June 08, 2024, 2:37 PM EDT

Hello, wondering if you could help me figure out what's wrong with my hydrangea. It is right next to a viburnum and I noticed it has aphids. Ants have been harvesting aphids in my garden like crazy this year. Not sure if that has caused the problem with the little lime hydrangea. I don't see any ants on it.

Hello;

Thanks for your Hydrangea question. From your photos the cause of the yellowing leaves may be due to the increased aphid population. Try washing them off with a gentle spay
of water to see if that helps.

 Additional causes may be due to watering conditions, nutrient deficiency, or soil conditions.

  I have listed several links below that go into more details concerning Hydrangea leaf yellowing and Aphid treatments. If you should use the pesticide treatments make sure it is listed for use on Hydrangeas and Always Read and Follow the Label Directions! In addition listed is your County OSU Extension Service should you wish to contact them for
additional information and help.
