In this video, long-time Reder Landscaping employee Steve Cross demonstrates the proper approach to dormant fall hydrangea pruning.
All hydrangeas benefit from annual pruning to maintain the “Three S’s” (size, shape and structure), as well as to improve flowering next spring and summer. With dormant pruning hydrangeas during late fall you get the added benefit of being able to harvest the spent flowers for use in indoor arrangements, as Steve demonstrates.
