“A simple, beautiful routine for fuller, fluffier hydrangea blooms 🌸”
Every year people ask me how my hydrangeas get so big, full, and fluffy… and the truth is, it’s actually really simple once you know what to do 🌸
If your hydrangeas don’t look like this yet — don’t worry. A few small changes can completely transform them.
✂️ Step 1: Prune HARD in Early Spring
This is the most important step.
I cut my Annabelle / Incrediball hydrangeas down to about 6 inches from the ground every early spring.
Don’t be scared to cut them back — this is what actually encourages bigger, fuller blooms.
🌱 Step 2: Fertilize for Bigger Blooms
After pruning, I feed them with a simple fertilizer to boost growth and bloom size.
This makes a HUGE difference in how full and lush they grow.

✂️ Step 3: Use the Right Tools
A good hedge trimmer makes this process quick and easy.

By summer, your hydrangeas will grow back bigger, fuller, and covered in those beautiful cloud-like blooms.
