Hi it is spring time now as you all know and I do not know much at all about hydranga. And I need to know what needs to be done to them and when as far as careing for them? Also how should I prun them? thanks.

Definitely fertilize before new growth begins. I believe pruning isn't necessary if they flower on old wood. It depends on the variety you have. Do you know?

No I do not because they are not mine they are at my work I take care of all the outside plants here. But the plant is large and it has huge blue flowers on it. It is not in a spot that it has overgrown yet. I can see little buds on the old wood though. thankyou I look forward to more of your input. your friend Melissa Beth

Hey Melissabeth - I do not recommend pruning at this time. Hope this helps!
