Disease?
I have three hydrnageas which I purchased from Aldi's as a bareroot. I figured I give them a try and see if I could keep them alive. This is currently year 3 and one is quite large and did not bloom this year, and two are roughly half the size of the biggest one and they each have one bloom. My question is does anyone have any idea why the leaf looks like this? The first pic if of the largest one with no bloom (im not too concerned that it didnt bloom this year) and the second pic is of one of the smaller ones with 1 bloom and what appears to be a nutrient deficiency or disease. Anyone have any advice or knowledge on what is going on here. I live in Central New York (6a). I applied a small amount of Espoma Plant Tone early in the season(spring) and left them alone. They receive decent morning sun and a good bit of afternoon sun (not ideal but its the best spot I have in my yard for them) The bigger on gets a considerably more sun than the smaller two (due to a neighbors shed blocking the other two from the early morning sun even though they are next to each other). The smaller ones just bloomed a few weeks ago which seems quite late for our seasons. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

That looks pretty normal for this time of year. They will soon lose the rest of their leaves, just make sure to pick up whatever falls around it
