Hydrangea Winter Pruning & Propagation

Panicle and smooth hydrangeas are the two hydrangea species that bloom on new wood and benefit from annual late winter pruning. The pruning methods for these species differ, each tailored to achieve optimal plant form and maximum blooms. Advanced Master Gardener David Doggett returns to the Gardens to lead a hands-on workshop that will demonstrate the different pruning techniques and explain how plant stems removed in the pruning process can be prepared as hardwood cuttings for easy propagation of these hydrangeas. Participants will take home a 6-pack of hydrangea cuttings they have prepared themselves. Bring your pruners; other supplies will be provided.
