A very common question that we get asked frequently is how to keep panicle hydrangeas from having floppy stems, so today I am sharing with you the trick to pruning panicle hydrangeas from strong stems and lots of blooms. While we are in the garden we are going to spend some time cleaning up the perennials that have gone dormant for the winter.

Good morning 🌞🌄 Love all the projects you work on💕
I usually love keeping mine up, but I’m ready to prune mine back and get cleaned up already for spring!
Yes, yes! That looks so much better! Makes the heart smile! Thanks for all the pruning information. Very helpful.
What type of lavender do you plant for hot & humid weather in zone 6B New Jersey ?
🙋
Looking at Hydrangea Hill, I’m reminded of all the spring bulbs you’ve planted. Very much looking forward to seeing them bloom!

You need some eyewear to protect your eyes from those hard lantana branches. I speak from experience as I had an eye injury from doing something similar. Glad you made it ok!!
Annual Lantana! I am jealous as that is my favorite 😍. I need to find something similar in a perennial style (5b) to flank the annual as my budget takes a hit between Lantana and Coleus. Perfect winter project.
Hi jenny! Happy new year! This is so off topic, but can you tell me the brand of your vest? I just love it. Thank you for another informative video. I am in Texas Zone 8A and we do our pruning pretty much the same way.
You could fast forward 17 min To get to the hydrangeas 😜
I have some new, small firelight hydrangeas. When they are smaller and not as established, do you still take them down by a third or do you just let them mostly do their thing until they get some growth on them?
When either you or Laura did a tour on Mackinaw Island with Jack Barbell, he said they cut the panicles all the way down. What would that do if we do that in our area (7b)?
I’m in zone 7a…where can I purchase a perennial lantana? I’ve never been able to overwinter one.
Looks fantastic great job. I’m in the city but live near a river and golf course so we have deer. They walk down our street at night so they have been nibbling on my hydrangeas up by my house. Hopefully they leave me some to prune back in the spring. My standard and some fire lights have trellis around them as I didn’t want them to touch them. But I guess I’ll have to trellis the ones right under my living room windows. I can see their footprints in the snow. They have to come way up in my yard to get at them. There is a ton of other trees around in my neighbours yard arborvitae but no they like mine. 😂
Thank you so very much for sharing this with us.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
I've been meaning to ask for a while. Did you or family go to Clemson? My 2 girls are down south in college. One at U of South Carolina and one at Coastal. We often fly into Charlotte when we're visiting kids and one of these times would love to come by and see the nursery. Cheers Jenny!
Wow it looks so nice all cleaned up !!
Looks wonderful! I have a cold weather dog too, when it was 9F he wanted to lay outside on the frozen grass. Nice thing is he doesn't like the heat any more than I do, making sure he doesn't over heat helps me prevent getting heat stressed as often while we are in the garden.
Neat and tidy ready for their awakening in the spring.
