Should I Prune My Hydrangea?
Online information can be a great help or a huge hindrance.
Browsing the internet the other day, the title of an article caught my eye: It’s Time To Prune Your Hydrangeas. Well, I thought, on one hand that’s true, but on the other hand it’s false.

In the last few years though, I have begun to appreciate the fact that shade is not a one-size fits all situation. It is variable and it is transient. There are multiple degrees and types of shade and each nurtures its own, wonderful plant palette.
