When should you prune panicle hydrangeas?

The best time to prune is late winter or early spring, before the new growth starts.

How to prune panicle hydrangeas properly?

  • Cut back old flowers: Trim away the faded blooms to make room for fresh, new growth.
  • Shape the plant: Prune about one-third of the plant to maintain a strong, compact shape.
  • Remove weak or damaged stems: Take out any unhealthy or thin branches to focus energy on stronger growth.
