Pruning 'Angel's Blush' Hydrangea: Timing and Tips

'Angel's Blush' is a panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) that blooms on new wood, producing white cone-shaped flowers in summer that age to pinkish-red. Because it flowers on current-season growth, you can prune it in late winter or early spring without sacrificing blooms.

This variety gets large—up to 10 feet tall and wide. If space is tight, consider transplanting it now. Otherwise, light annual pruning in winter to shape the plant or remove dead wood is all it needs.
