Panicle hydrangeas are easy to prune due to their blooming habit, which can be done at any time of year. The right time to prune a panicle hydrangea is between mid-March and April, after the last heavy frosts and before the plant creates new shoots. Withered panicle flowers make a pretty decoration in the garden in winter, and in the spring, the rods can be cut back if necessary.
Pruning panicle hydrangeas in early spring is the best time to prune them, as the first green new growth appears but the frost threat has passed. It is generally recommended to remove about 1/3 of the oldest branches each year. However, pruning very late in spring can remove buds that were previously present.
Pruning panicle hydrangeas in spring can be done anytime before new shoots start to appear or when the buds are just opening or breaking. In March, when the first green shows, but after the frost threat is gone (April if in a cooler zone), it is recommended to prune Hydrangea paniculata in spring, around the end of March to April, if based in the UK.
