Snowball bush won't bloom?

Probably has another name, it is in the hydrangea family. It gets bigger every year and has beautiful leaves, but no blooms. I got it as a start from another plant, and I have had it 3 years.Snowball bush won't bloom?
Some varieties don't bloom year after year.





A lack of blooms could be due to pruning at the wrong time or a general lack of phosphorous in the soil, which can be used throughout the growing season to encourage blooms.





The smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens), bloom on new wood so if you prune in late winter or early spring, you won't accidentally cut off this year's flowers. Others, like some mopheads and many big-leaf hydrangeas (H. macrophylla) bloom on old wood, so any late-season (or fall or winter) pruning you do erases next year's flowers. To stay on the safe side, and if you don't know which type you have, prune off only the spent blooms. *Snowball bush won't bloom?
keep in a shaded area. fertilize in the fall (this will increase the root mass), then fertilize again in the spring, blooms will set on. It is not unusual for a hydrangea to skip a year of blooms, especially if untreated.
i have 2 hydrangea and snowball bushes, you don't to cut them back. i don't , but i do is feed them with miracle grow very 2 weeks until late sept. they all bloom every year. also you can put a rusty nail or 2 in the ground around the hydrangeas they like what it does to the soil.
