A practical guide to hydrangea pruning

Pruning advice in this guide is organized around the differences between hydrangea varieties and when they bloom. Lorraine Ballato covers how to identify a plant type, distinguish old wood from new growth, and decide what to cut or leave. Seasonal schedules give the subject a year-by-year structure, while the central question is how pruning choices relate to flowering. The book is focused on hydrangeas rather than general garden care, making its guidance specific to one group of plants and the uncertainties gardeners can face when deciding when and how to prune them.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Gardeners who grow hydrangeas and want variety-specific pruning guidance
  • Readers seeking seasonal schedules and explanations of old-wood and new-wood growth
