Spring Hydrangea Care 🌿 How to Prune & Prep for the Growing Season

Thanks for growing with us!

Spring is finally here, and we’re back in the garden checking on our hydrangeas! In this video, we’ll walk you through early spring hydrangea care, covering pruning techniques, winter damage checks, and the best way to set your hydrangeas up for a great growing season. 🌸

We’ll go variety by variety—panicle hydrangeas, bigleaf hydrangeas, oakleaf hydrangeas, mountain hydrangeas, and smooth hydrangeas—to show you what needs pruning, what should be left alone, and how to improve overall plant health. Learn the three-bud pruning method for panicle hydrangeas, how to tell if your macrophylla buds survived the winter, and why some hydrangeas should never be pruned in spring. Plus, we share our experience with overwintering methods and plant protectors in our Zone 6A garden.

💚 If you love hydrangeas, this is a must-watch! Follow along as we get our garden ready for spring blooms. Subscribe for more garden updates, plant care tips, and seasonal garden inspiration!
