Pruning Your Hydrangea
Pruning your hydrangea can be a confusing task if you haven’t done it before, but pruning is essential to creating vigorous, sizeable blooms and increasing the longevity of your plant. We prune hundreds of hydrangeas every year and we want to keep you informed on how to get the most out of your favorite shrub!
The first step to pruning your hydrangea is identifying how it blooms. In order to identify how it blooms you need to know what type of hydrangea you have. Some hydrangeas form buds before entering dormancy- these are old growth bloomers. Others form their buds right after leafing out- these are new growth bloomers.
