Pruning Panicle Hydrangeas

It's spring and that means it's time to prune your panicle hydrangeas. Springtime is the perfect time to remove spindly, thin branches and broken stems, while encouraging the development of thick, sturdy branches that will support the lush, conical shaped flower heads panicles are known for. Little Limelight, Pinky Winky, Firelight (Sadly, I don't have a picture of mine in bloom.) -- The list goes on and on for the wide variety of panicle hydrangeas that are available in garden centers and online. There may be a wide variety but they all get pruned the same way. It's all in the branch nodes!

Stay safe and remember to keep a safe distance from others and wash your hands to help flatten the COVID-19 curve.

I’ve done lots of YouTube research on this topic and your explanation is the best by far. Thank you!

Thank you for an excellent pruning lesson! Having spent the last few days, digging up and removing two old mopheads (not a fan of flowers dragging on the ground), I am going to my local nursery to purchase two dwarf quickfire panicles today. Perfect plants for cold New England winters.

How many branch nodes do you leave on a branch before cutting the rest of the branch?
