Colin on Nostr: I wish I had any confidence with when and where I should prune/deadhead my ...
I wish I had any confidence with when and where I should prune/deadhead my hydrangeas.
I have both "types" (one type keeps growing off the existing "wood", and the other grows new wood every year and doesn't really do much with the existing growth).
So much conflicting advice out there it seems.
The current flower heads are all spent and leaves dead at this point. I think that's the right time for ... one of these? Or maybe both? Some say to cut it way earlier :S
