Hi All,

I am a novice gardener and inherited the garden I have now when I bought
the
house. I have several hydrangea bushes that are getting to big. A couple
of years ago I cut one of them back virtually to the ground but it has
come
back even bigger. I like the hydrangea and don't want to dig it up and
destroy it but how can I reduce the size?

Many thanks for your help


Do it again. And again. And again. The plant wants to grow to its full
size, not the size that suits you. If you cut it back hard before and it
survived, this is a good thing.

When it's done flowering, cut it back and let it grow back again till it's
the size you want.
