2. Yeah that's strange because hydrangeas are generally big producers when fertilized.

WEll, they do need acid type fertilizer to bloom abundantly. I've got 5 in one of my large front flower beds, one white with blue centers (it's unusual) one fuscia, one dark purple, and a huge light lavender one. It's neat, the fuscia one has now surrounded the white one so it looks like one bush and 2 different color flowers.

The house where I grew up had so many of these bushes, as a kid I called them cloud plants and still love them and get excited every year to see what exact color they will show me this year.
