The exception to this is the new breed of hydrangeas that can flower on both current and last year's branches.

  • Endless Summer is the most famous of these;
  • there are other varieties (such as those in the Forever and Ever series), too.

Cutting back hydrangeas in fall, winter, or spring is actually one of the most common reasons for hydrangeas to fail to bloom.

  1. These plants produce their flowers on last year's stems ---
  2. so if you cut the plants back, you're also cutting off the branches with the flowers.

No --- it's best to prune the blue- and pink-flowering hydrangeas right after they finish blooming.
