PINKY WINKY HYDRANGEA CARE

How to Prune Pinky Winky Hydrangea Tree

Pruning is not required but it can help you keep the tree and flower clusters looking neat. Trim the pink and white hydrangea tree to shape for the desired look and size you are going for. Prune away any dead wood or crossed branches. With hydrangea trees, it is best to prune away any lower suckers to keep the plant growing into tree form.

When to Cut Back Pinky Winky Hydrangea Tree

Pinky Winky Hydrangea pruning should take place after the plant has finished flowering in late winter or early spring. Cutting Panicle hydrangeas back during the active spring growing season can risk cutting off the gorgeous flower buds you want to see during spring and summer. Pinky Winky panicle hydrangea blooms on new wood so as soon as spring comes around you can prune back all the old wood from last year to encourage new growth.

Pinky Winky Hydrangea Winter Care

Once the blooms die back in fall and winter you can deadhead the spent blossoms. This will encourage the tree to put more energy into its root system to prepare for winter dormancy. However, some growers like to keep the dried pink flowers on for winter appeal. The leaves and foliage will die back and fall off for winter so you can clean up fallen foliage and throw it away or use it in your compost. Mulch the root zones to protect the roots during winter. It also helps to retain moisture during the warmer spring and summer blooming seasons.
