Lace cap hydrangea

Question

Is it to late to cut back hydrangea?

Answer 1

There are many varieties of hydrangea. Without knowing for sure which kind you have, it would be best to wait until after the blooming season is over to do pruning, other than deadheading or removing dead leaves and stems. If you prune now, you may not have any blossoms until next year.
