How to Deadhead Hydrangeas

Are your hydrangea blooms starting to fade or turn brown? Don't worry, your hydrangea isn't dying. The flower just needs to be removed, which is called deadheading. And since you have an endless summer hydrangea, deadheading allows for beautiful re-bloom, giving you color all summer and fall. To deadhead, simply cut the spent bloom just below the flower head and above the next set of large leaves. In most parts of the country, this can be done throughout the summer and a new set of flowers will flush for stunning fall blooms and autumn color and don't worry deadheading doesn't harm the plant in fact it helps it one final note stop deadheading in mid to late fall and leave the blooms on for winter interest waiting until spring will give you the most blooms next year.
