Скачать или смотреть Should You Prune This Kind Of Hydrangea? Yes and No

No! Except sometimes, yes!...😂 I hear from people regularly who ask about what to do if their big leaf/macrophylla hydrangea is overgrown and this is what I suggest you do. Yes, you are cutting off some future flowers because each of those healthy buds will produce a small stem on which a flower bud will appear. So be it!

This is not to be confused with panicle hydrangeas, such as Limelights, Bobo, Quickfire, etc; and arborescens, like Annabelle and Incrediball. You can cut those way back (around a third for the panicles and 12-18” off the ground for arborescens). And about the chop and drop? Those stems will be hidden and will decompose later. That’s some good organic matter for your soil!
