- A very common question that we get asked frequently is how to keep panicle hydrangeas from having floppy stems, so today I am sharing with you the trick to pruning panicle hydrangeas from strong stems and lots of blooms. While we are in the garden we are going to spend some time cleaning up the perennials that have gone dormant for the winter.

Looking at Hydrangea Hill, I’m reminded of all the spring bulbs you’ve planted. Very much looking forward to seeing them bloom!

Good morning 🌞🌄 Love all the projects you work on💕
Thank you❣️
Pruning Hydrangeas starts around 18 minutes.
In Australia Lantana is the obnoxious weed category, massive problem. Good on you Jenny for getting it gone girl!
Hybrids or cultivars are not, just the wild one is invasive.
Yes, yes! That looks so much better! Makes the heart smile! Thanks for all the pruning information. Very helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
Looks wonderful! I have a cold weather dog too, when it was 9F he wanted to lay outside on the frozen grass. Nice thing is he doesn't like the heat any more than I do, making sure he doesn't over heat helps me prevent getting heat stressed as often while we are in the garden.
I usually love keeping mine up, but I’m ready to prune mine back and get cleaned up already for spring!
I can only handle the brown blooms for so long! 😂
@@GardeningwithCreekside I know right. Especially when we don’t get much snow in our areas 🤣 They’d look prettier with snow, rather than 60 degree end of December weather
I leave the thick canes in the center and prune off any skinny stems in the outer area all around to prevent flopping on the ground. Then I continue trimming off outside growth before flowers form or they are all on the ground by late spring. Keep the strong center growth.
Thank you for so much help! Every time I watch one of your videos I learned something new!
Neat and tidy ready for their awakening in the spring.
I got battery powered hedge trimmer last year and wow did it make pruning easier! I have that lantana’s cousin Eggs & Ham & I need to get mine trimmed back. Love the new mulch! It’s like icing on a cake 😉
Annual Lantana! I am jealous as that is my favorite 😍. I need to find something similar in a perennial style (5b) to flank the annual as my budget takes a hit between Lantana and Coleus. Perfect winter project.
Jenny, thanks for all your videos I enjoy every one of them and always learning!
In your next video, would you please do a closeup of your tool belt and show what tools you carry around with you? There are several tool belts to choose from and this will help me decide. I need one as I’m always losing tools! Thank you!
Hello! This is the first video of yours that I've seen 👏👏 I am wondering if you address the needs of native insect habitat while tidyingin winter...maybe in another video??
Thanks for sharing all your information. I m going to go trim right now. Hope it’s not to late. Pat in NC
I think it’s magazine worthy. It’s got beautiful winter structure ❤
Dear Jenny❤…Blessings to you and your family in the New Year and always. I appreciate all that you continue to bless us with. God bless and love ya!❤
It looks great! I'm laid up with my knee, so can't get out and dig around. (Darn)! I appreciate nice and neat also.
Looks fantastic great job. I’m in the city but live near a river and golf course so we have deer. They walk down our street at night so they have been nibbling on my hydrangeas up by my house. Hopefully they leave me some to prune back in the spring. My standard and some fire lights have trellis around them as I didn’t want them to touch them. But I guess I’ll have to trellis the ones right under my living room windows. I can see their footprints in the snow. They have to come way up in my yard to get at them. There is a ton of other trees around in my neighbours yard arborvitae but no they like mine. 😂
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Wow it looks so nice all cleaned up !!
It's tough to look at my gardens and not race out to make them neat & tidy but we are doing regenerative farming and need to leave the "debrie" as long as feasible for the birds, pollinators, and other critters to have food & forage & living habitats during the winter months. We trimmed back curly willow trees and left a lot of the trimmings on the ground. We are trying to support native habitats for them to use. The birds are swarming all over the ground protected by the branches. They will stay and in the spring/summer provide pest protection. In very late winter I will start to "tidy up" before the fresh growth kicks in. Even leaving just a few areas raw as long as possible will be helpful.
You need some eyewear to protect your eyes from those hard lantana branches. I speak from experience as I had an eye injury from doing something similar. Glad you made it ok!!
Great info Jenny !!! Thanks
You could fast forward 17 min To get to the hydrangeas 😜
Thanks very much...(!)
Can you tel me more about the tool pouch that you are wearing. I see your felco holster is clip on it. You have a hori hori also.....love that tool. I am in horticulture also.
I've just purchased a panical hydrangea called little blossom, so was interested in the pruning strategy, the plant I have grows around 3 foot, if I'm continually pruning a few inches higher from last year's cuts every year, isn't the eventual bush going to get massive in 10, 20 years?
I am just now finding this because of mention of hydrangea, but we love lantana just never had it survive winter. We are in zone 7a-b. Is there a variety which would do better?
I have some new, small firelight hydrangeas. When they are smaller and not as established, do you still take them down by a third or do you just let them mostly do their thing until they get some growth on them?
I was wondering the same thing. I planted a gallon sized pinky winky last spring (zone 8 NC) and while it pushed about 5 blooms it didn’t get much size to it. I’d love to know what Jenny would do in this situation!
Just randomly sticking my nose in here…but hydrangeas are usually about the 4 “S’s”…soil, sun and strong stock!
I've never pruned anything so I have been trying to find information on how to do it. Watching your video you say cut 1/3 to 1/4 off the branches but in your video it appears you are cutting off 2/3 to 3/4 of the length of each branch. Is it leave 1/3 behind or take 1/3 off?
It being October 6, is it too early to prune my Limelight Primes? I'm in TN, about 30 miles south of Nashville.
Can you remind me about the macrophilia types? No pruning at all or prune early spring?
They bloom on old wood so if you need to prune them then you need to do it immediately after they bloom.
Nice and tidy!
Can hydrangeas survive being divided and moved?
Moved, absolutely! Divided, not so much. Hydrangeas are propagated by cuttings, not typically division.
QUESTION who is theSUPPLIER of your blended compost ? I would like to order it in bulk also. I am in Hendersonville, NC (south of Asheville). Thank you for very helpful video, I just found you today 12/29/22
Hi from Flat Rock! Would love that info also!
I've been meaning to ask for a while. Did you or family go to Clemson? My 2 girls are down south in college. One at U of South Carolina and one at Coastal. We often fly into Charlotte when we're visiting kids and one of these times would love to come by and see the nursery. Cheers Jenny!
I should probably know the answer to this, but how long will those cut “flowers” last? 😀
My daughter lives in Supply NC and has not gotten into gardening there yet! She is retiring in a couple of years and will love to get dirt under her fingernails! She needs suggestions or a book for that area near the coast! Can you suggest? Thx
QUESTION -- I live in North Carolina too in the Piedmont. My Limelight hedge is three years old now, but I would like to transplant some of them as they are in the shade and do not blooms as nicely as before. Can I move them now? When should I transplant my Limelights? They are a fairly good size, much like the size of yours. Would you transplant now or when?
I would say that you can move them anytime now and up to early March. You just want to get them moved well before the spring/summer heat hits so their roots can get established in their new home. Go ahead and prune them back by 1/3, get as big as a rootball as you can (the more roots the better), and then use Bio-tone starter fertilizer in the new hole. You shouldn't have to worry too much about watering them now because of our consistent rain, but come spring & summer make sure to keep a close eye on them and give them regular water. Hope this helps!
New here to Panicle Hydrangeas. Was wondering, won't the new growth grow tall and the flowers still flop over? I saw online and if I remember correctly, someone said you can cut the new growth in half and more branches will grow out but the flowers will be smaller and not flop over. Is this true? Thanks
Learned alot! I have a standard panicle hydrangea that is white and turns pink in late summer. It is about 4' tall and the flowering head of it is about 18" wide. When I got it originally, about 4 years ago, the tag said part sun/sun. Well I put it in an area that had part sun all day. It stayed there for 3 years and almost nothing happened except alot of leaves, but no branching, etc. Then I learned that they are really supposed to be in full sun for as long as possible so I did that for this last season. I did get some flowers, but very few, no growth of branches and it did not get any taller. I am wondering if it might still be in year one or two and maybe it will grow more this year? Thinking of keeping it alive the first, gets alittle bigger in the second and flourishes in the third. I am wondering what your thoughts are? Thanks so much! P.S. I give it a half gallon of water (irrigation) per hour for one hour each day early in the morning. Seems to like that alot.
What are the 3 tall evergreens at 8:24 and when did they get planted…age? TY
Hi jenny! Happy new year! This is so off topic, but can you tell me the brand of your vest? I just love it. Thank you for another informative video. I am in Texas Zone 8A and we do our pruning pretty much the same way.
It looks like LL Bean
Good morning Jenny,
Q: do you trim oak leaf hydrangeas the same as panicles. Thank
No, I’m fact they should not be pruned at all unless absolutely necessary. They bloom on old growth so if you prune them now then you will be cutting off all of next year’s flowers.
Help! My landscapers cut my lavender (denim and lace) when they did leaf cleanup. Will it come back?
I thought denim and lace was a type of Russian sage. It will probably come back from the roots.
When either you or Laura did a tour on Mackinaw Island with Jack Barbell, he said they cut the panicles all the way down. What would that do if we do that in our area (7b)?
Barnwell. Darn spell check!
Cut down to the ground? I’m in northern Michigan and cut my panicles back by about 1/3.
What type of lavender do you plant for hot & humid weather in zone 6B New Jersey ?
The lavender that has performed best for me is Phenomenal.
@@GardeningwithCreekside thank you so much . I will definitely try it this year
🙋
Sempre ano ..?
Are you going to tell us the trick?
