4 different hydrangea pruning methods, direct from the grower
Tips for every desired size
Hello everyone,
I’m starting to get back in the regular swing of things, and for this Wednesday Substack post I thought I would write about hydrangeas. Specifically, the ice cream ones, you know the ones with the big blousy heads, they tend to be white and pinks, and don’t change change colour on different soils. They only change colour with the seasons.
(If you want to know how to prune the “other ones”, a.k.a. mopheads, click here!)
Did you know that you can actually choose the size of your flowerhead? The very large heads often need support and protection, but you can actually fashion your plant in a very different way, with multiple small heads. Or, you can abandon pruning altogether, and grow it into a small tree!
But, this isn’t my own pruning advice, this is direct from one of Europe’s top growers, Living Creations, and namely Alex Schoemaker - the owner and creator of these Living Creations varieties.
In the article here with, oooh that sounded posh, I discuss 4 different ways to prune your hydrangeas, straight from the grower’s mouth…
