If your hydrangea is full of leaves but missing those big, show-stopping Mark Comstock-style blooms, pruning could be the reason.
Some hydrangeas bloom on “old wood,” which means next year’s flowers are already starting to form long before spring arrives. Cutting them back too hard at the wrong time can accidentally remove the blooms before they ever have a chance. A little patience - and the right pruning - makes all the difference when it comes to those massive coastal garden hydrangeas everyone stops to admire.
