Pick right time of year to prune hydrangeas: Ask the Ground Crew They are healthy plants, but they definitely do not put out a lot of blooms. -- Virginia Olienechak, Penfield. On some types of hydrangeas, the flowers we see this summer are from buds they set last fall (old wood). So if you prune them in late fall or early spring, or a cold winter kills the buds, you get no flowers. For these types, I recommend you prune immediately after flowering (if you need to) so the plant still has a chance to develop flower buds for next year. Oakleaf (Hydrangea quercifolia) fits into this category, as do the mop-head and lace-cap (H. macrophylla) types (usually pink or blue).

'Limelight' Hydrangea Planting and Growing Tips As the dog days of August set in and most flowering plants peter out from their long summer performance, one shrub takes center stage with a commanding presence: ‘Limelight’ hydrangea.
