Understanding this concept and knowing which plants bloom on old wood and which bloom on new wood can help prevent pruning First, a few lessons in Hydrangea terminology. mishaps.

Cut back a and in many cases, blossoms maybe made up entirely of sterile fl owers. hydrangea that blooms off of old wood at the same times...say goodbye to your fl owers. Th at doesn’t make for happy gardening.

Here’s the second set of terms...lacecap vs. mophead. Now for a quick look at the four Hydrangea species we grow. Smooth Hydrangea (H. arborescens) -Th is is one of the most dependable and easy to grow hydrangea species. It is a U.S. native, it is very hardy and it blooms reliably. It produces fl owers off of new wood in the spring, so heavy pruning at the start of the season doesn’t bother it, in fact it’s recommended. Although the species generally produces lacecap-type fl owers in the wild, these forms are rarely seen in gardens. Mophead In the wild, fl oral structures are made up of mostly fertile fl owers, adorned selections are what really catch the gardener’s eye, and one of the best of with a few adorned with a small number of sterile showy fl owers. In some those is a called ‘Annabelle’. species, the blossom is a rounded, fl at-topped cluster, ringed by larger sterile fl owers. Th is fl oral composition is commonly referred to a lacecap. It produces large white fl oral clusters (up to 8-12” across!) and produces those in large numbers. Th is selection pretty much represents all of the While attractive, this fl oral composition certainly doesn’t catch the eye Smooth Hydrangea found in the nursery trade. It grows about 3-5’ tall nearly as much as many of today’s popular garden forms. Most of these with a similar spread and does best in light shade. It looks best when selections have fl oral structures composed primarily of all sterile fl owers, pruned back hard each spring, taking last year’s stems back to 6-12” producing a large rounded fl oral structures commonly referred to as a tall. It adds a nice brightness to shade gardens and is one of the easiest mophead. Hydrangeas to grow.

It’s easy to see why the mopheads are gardener favorites. Th ey are stunning!

Th ey typically bloom mid-summer, although blue borne in both lacecap and mophead fl oral stuctures. Many diff erent there are forms that bloom as early as June (‘Quickfi re’) and others that forms exist off ering a myriad of fl ower color, plant size and fl oral structure hit peak as late as September (‘Tardiva’). Th ere are also a whole host of combinations, making their popularity understandable...in other parts of selections that off er diff erent looking blooms (more or less sterile fl orets), the country. Th eir use here is less common because of two major cultural larger or smaller panicles and more recently, dwarf sizes (3-5’ tall and problems, they are borderline winter hardy for us and they bloom off of wide). We carry a number of diff erent selections and all make great plants. old wood...and that’s not a good combination. If cold temperatures kill Th is hydrangea actually prefers more sun than the others, although light back topgrowth, then blooms the next season are scarce to no existent. shade through the worst of the summer may be benefi cial. Th at makes this species diffi cult to enjoy here in NE Kansas, and that has unfortunately prevented this species from being a major garden plant in our landscapes...until recently that is. One interesting feature on this species is the occasional production of pink fl owers. Th e fl owers actually are still white, but towards the end of the bloom sequence, if the weather is right (cooler weather, especially at About 10 years ago, a new selection made its way into American gardens. night), you will sometimes see the fl owers fade into a rose-pink as they Known as ‘Endless Summer’, this new form came by way of a chance fi nish. Despite what you may read or hear about, this is unfortunately a discovery in the growing fi elds of a large wholesale grower. Th e original fairly rare occurrence in our climate but it does occasionally happen, so plant was observed blooming very late in the season, something this enjoy when it does! species doesn’t do. Upon further evaluation, it was found that this specifi c plant had the ability to bloom not only in the spring off of old wood, but again later in the season off the new wood.

It blooms off of old wood, so don’t blooms of this species. However, in our hot dry climates, we have found prune it during the dormant season! It has good winter hardiness and that ‘Endless Summer’ isn’t very happy and overall success with this form produces fl owers reliably every year. Th e straight species is common grown has been less than what we had hoped for. A newer selection known as in gardens and is impressive, but there are also many popular selections ‘BloomStruck’ is improving our chances for success.
