hydrengas, the care of


Question
I recently planted two hydrenga shrubs. What is the best way to remove the dead heads?I live in Illinois. Also I have 2 very large lilacs that no longer bloom. What do you suggest?

Answer
Diane,

The following website will answer most of your questions about Hydrangeas- http://www.demesne.info/Garden-Help/Flowers/Hydrangeas.htm

As for the lilacs, they would benefit from a rejuvenation pruning in June. Choose a few of the oldest limbs to the ground to force new growth and new flowering.

Good luck,
Ed Gulliksen
