A lushly blooming hydrangea is one of the best ways to decorate your home area.

With this plant, any garden turns into a luxurious mini-park that you don’t want to leave.

Experienced gardeners know how to make hydrangea bloom profusely. The secret lies in proper pruning, which is carried out in early spring.

Pruning Hydrangea

There is no point in putting off the work; everything needs to be done before the buds swell.

For lush flowering in the new season, no more than 2-3 pairs of buds are left on last year's shoots. Stumps 5-7 cm long are left above them so that the buds do not dry out.

Feature of pruning

Each gardener can "regulate" what the flowering will be like.

For example, the lower the pruning, the larger the inflorescences. But in this case, they will bloom later.

High pruning produces many inflorescences, but their size is significantly smaller. The bush will be literally strewn with flowers that will open earlier than usual.
