What the heck is wrong with my Hydrangeas?

[EastCoastGarden]

Hello,
My hydrangeas look like pancakes or a lunar module! I am confused: The plant seems really healthy, it gets a good number of sunshine hours, I used miracle grow.
I walk around and everyone else's Hydrangeas are big round and bouncy and mine look like this.

Thanks in advance for any advice you can offer.

Possibly because yours are the type called Lacecap Hydrangeas and your neighbours are Mopcap ones.

Hydrangeas are weird; give them some more time; also try adding some coffee grounds to the soil around the plants.

Its a different varriety of hydrangea. They are bred to bloom differently.

Really, your complaining about that Hydrangea. Honey that's the way its suppose to look. Its a Lace cap Hydrangea. You need to read up on the types of Hydrangeas. And there are some hydrangeas that bloom on new wood, some that bloom on old wood. I am going to tag you to my garden pic. Please go through them. I have 13 varieties.
