When do you prune pinky winky hydrangeas?

Pinky Winky hydrangeas should be pruned in late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. This timing allows you to remove any dead or damaged stems and shape the plant without interfering with the blooming cycle. Since they bloom on new wood, pruning at this time encourages healthy growth and vibrant flowers in the summer. Avoid pruning in the fall, as this can expose the plant to winter damage.
