🌻🔎 Many Northeast Ohio gardeners have been quietly befuddled by bigleaf hydrangeas. By using these tips, you’ll be able to identify these enigmatic shrubs and care for them with ease.
A quick word about pruning: it is never required for hydrangeas. If you are in doubt about what type you have or whether it needs pruning, leave it alone. The blooms on smooth hydrangeas may be smaller without pruning, but excessive or poorly timed pruning can do worse harm in all other cases.
This mophead bigleaf hydrangea was likely the only option for colorful hydrangea blooms when it was planted. If you are more interested in wildlife value than in bloom color or longevity, the unfortunate reality is that large showy hydrangea flowers are sterile and do not attract pollinators. Smooth and oakleaf hydrangeas are native to North America, and although their range ends south of here, their “lacecap” flower heads do seem to attract some pollinators.
