Pruning

Question

My climbing hydrangea has gotten very full at the tips of the branches. Is this a time to prune those? They make a mess of leaves and not too many blossoms.

Answer 1

These are usually pruned back in the fall, though it should be ok to prune back some in spring if needed. This article has information on pruning hydrangea plants: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/hydrangea/prune-hydrangea-bushes-hydrangea-pruning-instructions.htm
