When to prune Endless Summer hydrangeas (and the crucial times to avoid snipping) – for bigger, better, and beautiful blooms

Are hydrangeas deer-resistant?.

As the days grow shorter and the crisp fall air returns, many gardeners are wondering what to do with their hydrangeas. Unlike some varieties, Endless Summer hydrangeas require a very specific approach to pruning, especially at this time of year. Because they bloom on both old wood (last year's growth) and new wood (this season's growth), an ill-timed cut can cost you next year's blooms.

When it comes to exploring when to prune hydrangeas, Endless Summer varieties require minimal pruning, so it is vital to understand when the pruning time is right to avoid hindering the plant’s health or impacting any future display of stunning blooms.
