Q&A – We have a Lemon Daddy hydrangea that is very leggy. Can I prune it?
Question:
We have a Lemon Daddy hydrangea that is very leggy. Can I prune it, and if so, when and how?
Answer:
Different kinds of hydrangeas have different pruning requirements. Lemon Daddy is a cultivar of macrophylla hydrangea. Macrophyllas should be pruned in late winter. Pruning later than that will reduce the number of blooms that year. When you prune it, only leave about an inch or two above the ground. It will regrow and bloom.
