When should I cut back my Hydrangeas? This is the first year I have had
them and the growth has to be seen to be believed!

I have some old ones and apparently only where they have had flowers
should be pruned back to a pair of buds.

Many years ago I pruned mine heavily because they were 6ft tall they
have never recovered though they are starting to look bushier but
they are still only 3ft
