This time last year I had a beautiful deep mauve hydrangea and now I have what's left of a slug buffet will it perk up and come back to its former glore ir is it buggered?
What can i don to help it along?
I've basically snipped off all the raggedy nibbled leaves with the thinking that all the plants energy should be focused on making new growth and this is what's left.
I mulched it with wool slug pellets, some.of which have been a scattered a bit from watering with the hose.
It was in a much bigger pot before but I couldn't have this sad little thing right near the front door so I popped it in a smaller terracota pot while it's recouperating ha ha
Any help would be much appreciated thanks

I think you're right actually. Think a bit of liquid seaweed would help it along though?
No can do so it'll have to remain in a pot. It's been fine in a pit up until its recent slug/snail massacre
Thank you all for the tips just gutted as I was really looking forward to seeing it in full bloom again this year
