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?

I prune mine hard every year.
Doesn't harm the flowering and keeps the plant compact.
