Prune your hydrangeas at the right time of year to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms, typically in late winter or early spring depending on the variety.

Avoid heavy pruning in the fall to prevent winter damage; instead, focus on light maintenance to preserve the plant’s structure and flowering potential.
