Hydrangeas are like 'flower bombs' that can make any garden significantly more beautiful. However, to ensure that the flowers continue to please the eye, it's essential to trim them at the right time.

This can help increase the number of flowers in the coming year, as reported by Express.co.uk.

When it comes to pruning hydrangeas, you'll need clean and sharp secateurs. Make sure to remove as few stems as possible.

By August, hydrangeas typically set the buds for the following year, so cutting off large portions of the stem can hinder flower growth.

You can do this until mid-autumn, and afterward, simply let the flowers serve as decorative ornaments in the winter garden.
