New to the plant world. Hydrangea care?
Hi! Thanks in advance for answering what I am certain is a very dumb question.
DH and I bought a house a few months ago, and we did nothing to the existing plants.
There are several hydrangea plants that are in a "wooden" or winter state at this point, including with the blooms on them.
Should I be actively removing the blooms before spring/summer? Or will they fall off on their own?
I've never had property before (only lived in condos) so this is my first attempt at not killing landscape. :-)
Re: New to the plant world. Hydrangea care?
It depends on the type of hydrangea. Some bloom on "new wood" (what grows this spring) and some blooms on "old wood" and has already set buds on that wood. If you cut that wood off, you'll lose those blooms come summer.
I'd start here: http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/identify.html (there's two pages to go through)
and then move to here: http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/pruning.html

Sometimes I wonder if scientists have never seen a sci-fi movie before. "Oh yes, let's create a super species of deer. NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG." I wonder if State Farm offers a Zombie Deer Attack policy. -CaliopeSpidrman
