There is only one thing you need to know about pruning hydrangeas: when to do it so that it is not too early. You don't need to rush to the flowering bushes with the pruner. You can disrupt the sap flow and prepare the plant for wintering.

When to prune

For panicle hydrangea, everything is quite simple and clear. You need to be guided by the condition of the plant, how it changes.

Hydrangea gradually prepares for winter. The color of its leaves, stems, and inflorescences gradually changes. When everything has fallen and the inflorescences have become dry, then you can proceed to pruning.

Wait until the leaves have fallen by 90%. While they are still green or yellow, do not move the plant. By pruning early, you will only make it worse. First, the sap flow stops, and then pruning is carried out.
