Hydrangea pruning

Hydrangeas, the shrub that can always be relied upon to put on a good show in part – full shade positions. In the past we were limited to the standard ‘mop top’ or ‘lace cap’ varieties but we now have more varieties available to us such as Oakleaf, Panicle, Smooth and climbing options. 

It is important to correctly identify what variety of Hydrangea you are pruning. This will guide you how and when to prune your variety correctly as different varieties are pruned at different times and if you get it wrong, you may miss out on blooms that year.
