The Complete Hydrangea Guide ???? Types, Pruning, Sun & Blooming Explained

In this complete hydrangea guide, we’re answering the biggest questions gardeners ask: What type of hydrangea do I have? When do I prune hydrangeas? Why aren’t my hydrangeas blooming? Can hydrangeas grow in full sun? Why isn’t my hydrangea blue? Do hydrangeas need a lot of water? Can you grow hydrangeas in pots? Why are my hydrangea leaves turning yellow?

????We’re Eric and Christopher of Grow For Me Gardening, and we’ve grown more than 200 hydrangeas in our Zone 6A garden. In this video, we break down the five main hydrangea types grown in North America.

????We explain how to identify each hydrangea type, how to tell the difference between old wood vs new wood hydrangeas, and how to prune hydrangeas correctly so you don’t accidentally cut off your blooms. We also share how we use hydrangeas in garden design, from structure and screening to softness, seasonal color, and naturalistic transitions.
