It was good to watch you tidying your garden, it’s given me the confidence to do the same in mine. I wasn’t sure whether to cut back or not but I’ll have a go now. Thanks Olivia 😊
It depends on which you have. All Hydrangea paniculatas can be cutback hard in spring about 1/3. No danger at any time after frosts or after the flowers die back. But mop heads or lace caps only after the last frost down to the next bud. This is important as they flower on new growth and frost can damage the new growth. The old flower heads offer some protection. I hope this helps. Thanks for watching

Brilliant, I’m so pleased to hear that. Happy sniping 😊
I'm always a little bit behind doing this but it's so important.
A little every day can help. Thank you for watching
I’m with Heidi am a bit lax at deadheading but I’m trying 😂. Garden looks stunning Olivia ❤, have a marvellous week, Ali ☁️🇨🇦
Can I ask do you do this with hydrangea? Or just leave the flowers?
