Pruning your hydrangeas? ✂️ WAIT! You might be cutting off next year’s blooms without even knowing it.

Some hydrangeas bloom on old wood where buds are formed the previous summer (like Hydrangea macrophylla, and Oakleaf hydrangea). If you prune those too late, you’ll lose next season’s flowers. Others bloom on new wood (like Hydrangea arborescens and Hydrangea paniculata) and need pruning in late winter or early spring. Reblooming hydrangeas bloom on both new and old wood, so pruning too late can lose that first flush, but you'll still get the second rebloom.

Don’t know which type you have? That’s step one. 📋✔️ Find the full identifying and pruning breakdown on the blog here ➡️ https://monrovia.me/4m9BBp5 for timing, tools, and the how-to!
