Hydrangea varieties can bloom on old wood, new wood, or both. For example, a Nikko Blue Hydrangea produces blooms in the fall, which should not be pruned to the ground in the fall when cutting back perennials. Endless Summer, a hydrangea variety that blooms on both old and new wood, should not be pruned in the fall as it may cut off some of next spring’s blooms.

The plant tag on the hydrangea will indicate whether the plant blooms on old wood, new wood, or both. It is best to wait and prune your hydrangeas in the spring, as stems that lack leaves and are brittle when bent should be pruned near the base of the plant, as they will not produce any blooms.

When should hydrangeas be cut back?
