Gardening expert's simple trick to help hydrangeas grow 'masses of flowers' Hydrangeas, with their variety of shapes from circular balls to stunning cones, are hardy plants that can withstand the winter chill and even a freeze.
Ben Hayman, Hoselink's gardening expert, reveals in a TikTok video that a good prune can lead to "spectacular blooms" and a "healthier" growth during the growing season.
Ben advises that the best time for pruning is "We prune these guys in winter to early spring - and they're really easy to prune they flower on the coming year's growth.".
He begins: "Today I'm going to show you how to prune and get masses of flowers on your panicle hydrangeas, or as you may know them, hydrangea paniculata.".
He suggests starting by removing any dead, damaged, or diseased parts, then cutting back to a solid framework, followed by thinning out crowded areas to let light and air circulate at the heart of the plant, reports the Express.
