If they are dormant before that day, you won't be able to get any blooms. Pruning hydrangeas is important, but you'll want to make sure that you don't cut off too much of their foliage.
You should prune hydrangeas once they have been planted in your garden. This is because they can become thorny. However, if you prune them properly, they'll grow in no time at all. You can even transplant them to larger gardens if you have a smaller yard. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to grow hydrangeas and enjoy the beautiful blooms!
In 1991, Martha Stewart discovered hydrangeas at a flower market in San Francisco. Stewart was impressed when she saw the plants, which had almost gone out-of-fashion. Jerry Bolduan (the owner of Green Valley Growers) didn't know she was there. The employee told him to pay attention to Stewart, and Bolduan's flowers were featured in a gorgeous spread in the next issue of Martha Stewart's magazine. Hydrangeas are the most beautiful plant, with their delicate lacecaps as well as their colorful puff balls.
