I wish my macrophyllas looked like this. I just can't pull the trigger on the secateurs to cut them back that hard. I rarely get new growth from the ground, sometimes from the lowest points though, so that was encouraging. I only have maybe 8 stems, so it's tough to cut. They are anything but straight. I'll do a bit more of a prune now though....Thanks again. This is a keeper.
Great video. I watch lots of videos on pruning hydrangeas. They have to be one of my top 3 plants. This video gave me yet another gem of info. I understood that leaving the Annabelle type (I have Incrediballs) stems longer made the stems stronger. 🥴
Another great vid. Does it matter if they are planted in full sun in the UK. I have been told they will be better in part shade but would like a second option please 🙏
They are fine in full sun as long as the soil doesn’t dry out too much in summer. In dapple shade soil holds on to moisture longer - thanks for watching your support is appreciated! Martin, Jill & Sean
Normally they are taken from new non flowering shoots in summer, between June & Aug. I take cuttings around 2-3 inches (5-7.5cm) long, trimmed below a bud and the lower leaves removed. Insert into small pots and keep moist. We’ll do a video in summer as well. Martin

So it appears that you only do pruning in the spring? Don't prune at all in the fall?
That’s right, all the pruning is done in spring just before new growth starts. Martin

I am in N. Lincs and mine did not do well in the full sun. I keep mine in part shade and have no problems with them.
