    That was the best hydrangea video I’ve ever seen. It was so specific where to prune the mop heads. I have quite a few mop heads that I’ve rescued from friends gardens but I have few or no flowers. I’m afraid to prune them . I’m going to focus on feeding them and see what happens next spring. Thanks!

      Don’t know if your mop heads have bloomed Nancy, but having had the same problem, I researched and found a solution that worked.
      In late fall, I fenced off each mop head individually, staking the fence to keep it in place, I then completely covered the plant with straw and chopped leaves. I checked thru the winter to make sure the wind didn’t expose any branches.
      In spring, once you know that any heavy spring frosts or harsh cold winds are at a close end, remove all straw, leaves and fencing. Providing you didn’t prune your old wood back, you should get blooms. It worked for me after 2 years of nothing. However, I made the mistake of unveiling my plants at the first sign of lovely spring weather in April, only to have the weather turn inclement once more. This resulted in damages to the buds and only 1 of my 5 mopheads bloomed, but I did get 4 big blooms. This was, for me, a big step in the right direction. I live in zone 5 eastern Canada with very harsh cold windy damp springs, sometimes until June. The effort was well worth the blooms!!😉

      My lacecaps Pinkee Winkee hydrangeas are 15years old but 3 of 4 were flowers that rooted like cuttings3 years later when i unexpectedly stayed somewhere else for the weekend because i only prune them when cutting flowers. The old wood is 5 foot tall but blooms are 7 foot from that side when i cut them. I just figured out last year that the gound in back is over18 inches higher which let me cut the upper blooms from my height of 4 foot 11 with shoes on. I just got mopheads last year but they rebloomed every time i cut flowers. Bloomstruck was the hardy variety i bought when they were blue but they didnt turn blue again until i had to transplant them to build a deck that i never got a permit for

    Here in the Netherlands, hydrangeas are positioned around the gardens of farms with ditches nearby. They're supposed to assist with the drainage of the soil. The cone-shaped flowers are called "sheep-heads" here. They are reminding you of a herd of sheep, actually, once you watch them in white flowery profusion in those gardens in the Dutch countryside.

    Don't forget about the new hybrid called, "endless summer" that bloom on old and new growth. One of the greatest things about the "endless summer" series is you can prune them all the way back to the ground and they will bloom wonderfully on new growth.

I love your interview format because it helps break up otherwise slightly long streams of important information that might glaze over the average gardener's mind. By breaking the experts' advice up by asking questions or interspersing your comments into the experts it gives the viewer a signal to take note of the important details. Combined with your own apparently endless font of gardening knowledge it presents the complete tome in a short video. Invaluable!

    My first experience with Hydrangeas were with the tall, single woody stemmed Pee Gee type. They must've been at least 9' tall with a dense canopy of arching branches with large ovate, opposing leaves along each singular stem, each stem ending in a massive cluster of small, lightly fragrant flowers. I could pick a few big bouquets without thinning out the abundant clusters enough to even notice they'd been removed.
    The huge panacles began as a light shade of a creamy green which, over time became all creamy white & attained their full size at about 12" to 14" long & maybe 10" wide.
    When summer turned cooler & into early fall, those massive heads began to have pinkish hues - beginning at their base. In the next weeks the pink turned deeper & gradually covered the whole panacle.
    I was fond of cutting huge bouquets at different stages of color. There were plenty to pick from between the 4 or 5 shrubs.
    I'd put about 2" of water in my few, large, heavy vases. Then let them dry. They became light as air, brittle & retained their colors as they looked when cut.
    I'd leave the fluffy light brown blossoms on the leafless stems all winter, then prune them back hard in spring, to maybe 4" to 6" from the tops of their woody, single stems. It's best to cut to an out facing bud.
    Soon their 4' or longer arching branches would form fountain like tops. & blossoms formed & grew large at the end of each stem & eventually hung down but didn't look droopy.
    The flowers were magnificent fresh or dried. The bouquets could remain as arranged & kept their colors well for months.

    Another excellent informative video. I love visiting Signature/Golden Hill when hydrangea's are in full bloom, the choice of cultivars is overwhelming.

    Recently moved to new house. We have inherited some hydrangeas, one of which is Annabelle. There are 6 plants all planted quite close together, all under canopy of huge Jasmine, which is covering oil tank. They receive morning sun, which I think is too much for most of them. Will be moving them in October as suggested. Thanks so much for video, it was very helpful.

    Thank you.
    I have had four fuschia colour mopheads in my small front garden. I wasn't sure how far to prune them back so only cut off the heads but they have produced ever fewer blooms. Now I realise it is due to feed. I have used a little lime to help keep the colour and alternated with a popular brand general feed. They would probably benefit from changing to this.
    On the other hand, I can't stop what turned out to be large fuschia bushes from overgrowing for the space (away from the hydrangeas). They are cut back hard almost to the ground every year then pruned by a third two or three times, but they still reach shoulder height by the end of the summer. The roots are now too established for me to dig up now that I have joint problems and I am loathe to poison them. Besides, apart from more hydrangeas there isn't much I would want to put in their place.

      I do find that the plants are in charge in my garden...fuschias are extraordinarily large sometimes, but their flowers are beautiful.

    I have several mopheads that I had to cut old woods down to the ground this Spring due to being overgrown and rejuvinate. Now it has new healthy leaves and stems. Hopefully it will start to bloom again by next year.

    I just love hydrangeas but I never get flowers. Either the winter cold or hungry deer do them in. The deer in my area eat nearly everything...such pests in the garden. We moved the tardivas into the fenced orchard so maybe we will actually get blooms and some size on them this year. Love your videos 💚

    I bought a hydrangea once and my dad planted them in our garden where we had condensed soil....they survived but not well because it was more of a clay dirt. Then we thought they totally died because we didn't know how to properly take care of them😭
    They really are absolutely stunning.
    This year I will buy a new one and plant them carefully.
    Thank you so much your video was very insightful and full of great info.
