How to Prune Hydrangeas in 3 Simple Steps

Hello, my friend, hello again; today we come together to talk about How to Prune Hydrangeas in 3 Simple Steps and hope the blog can help you.

Is the size of your snowball bush snowballing out of control? We can give you tips on how to cut it back without eliminating its blooms.

The question of when to prune hydrangeas depends on the types you have. Those that flower in early summer on old wood (shoots produced the previous year) should be trimmed in midsummer immediately after they bloom. Hydrangea types that flower on new wood (shoots produced the same year as their posies) in midsummer can be pruned in late winter or early spring, perhaps in autumn in mild climates.

When considering how to prune hydrangeas, keep in mind that they don’t require trimming to flower. So, if you are in doubt, just cut pruning from your hydrangea care altogether!
