Hydrangeas Pruning

TIPS

• In general, to prune hydrangeas it is best to wait until the end of winter and when there is no frost.
• Cut the old branches, they are the most woody, they are usually in the center of the hydrangea.
• Cut young branches up to half their length, they are about 3 years old.
• Don´t cut the suckers, they are the youngest branches, their stem usually starts from the base of the plant.
  

Hydrangeas arrived in Europe from Asia in the 18th century, reached Spain in the 19th century, and in Galicia they adapted to the climate, becoming an icon of the landscape.

The hydrangea is a plant that requires little care and proper pruning will reward you with its exuberant flowering from spring to well into autumn. We like them so much that in our vacation rental houses in Galicia there are always vases with hydrangeas scattered throughout the house. All of these are from A Casa da Chavella garden.

And every season at the VILANOVAA store in Carballo we have a selection of our

favorite hydrangeas.

We will be happy to advise you on any questions about your care!
