why did my climbing hydrangea look totally dead, then bounce back?

Last spring, my climbing hydrangea looked like it had given up on life. Brown leaves, brittle stems—total disaster. I almost pulled it out, but something told me to wait. Instead, I trimmed off the dead bits and made sure it got a deep drink every week. I also tossed some compost around the base, hoping for a miracle. A few weeks later, tiny green buds started popping up. I was shocked! Turns out, these plants just need patience and a little TLC. Now it’s climbing higher than ever, loaded with blooms. Sometimes, plants just need time to recover, even when they look hopeless. If you’re dealing with a sad-looking hydrangea, don’t give up too soon. Give it some love and watch what happens! gardening #hydrangea #plantcare #gardenjoy #gardening #hydrangea #plantcare #gardenjoy
