You’ve Found the Right Place

If you’ve ever searched for how to prune a hydrangea, you’ve probably discovered something frustrating.

One person tells you to prune in the fall.

Another says never prune.

A third says, “It depends.”

The truth is, they’re all partly right.

The key is knowing which hydrangea you’re growing.

Once you understand how to grow hydrangeas based on the type you’re growing, pruning becomes easier, bloom failures start to make sense, and you’ll feel much more confident caring for your plants.

That’s exactly why we created the Hydrangea Handbook + Garden Planning Worksheets.

Why We Created This Handbook

After years of answering the same hydrangea questions through YouTube videos, blog posts, emails, and social media, we wanted one place where gardeners could quickly find reliable answers without searching through dozens of videos or conflicting advice online.

Instead of piecing together information from multiple sources, you’ll have everything organized in one easy-to-use resource that you can return to season after season.

Whether you’re caring for your very first hydrangea or adding another favorite variety to your garden, this handbook was created to help you garden with confidence.

What’s Included

Eric & Christopher’s Hydrangea Handbook

The handbook walks you step-by-step through the topics gardeners ask us about most often.

Inside you’ll learn how to:

✔ Identify the five major hydrangea types

✔ Understand the difference between old wood and new wood bloomers

✔ Prune confidently without sacrificing next year’s blooms

✔ Choose the right hydrangeas for your growing conditions

✔ Design beautiful hydrangea gardens with season-long interest

✔ Learn which varieties we grow and recommend in our own landscape

Everything is organized in one place, making it easy to reference whenever questions come up throughout the gardening season.

Garden Planning Worksheets

Learning is one thing.

Putting that knowledge into practice is what transforms your garden.

The included printable worksheets help you:

✔ Plan new garden beds

✔ Keep track of your hydrangea varieties

✔ Record bloom times

✔ Log pruning each season

✔ Plan companion plantings

✔ Keep garden notes you’ll appreciate year after year

Print them whenever you need them and build a personalized gardening reference that’s uniquely your own.

Built From Years of Real Gardening Experience

Everything in this handbook comes from our own garden.

Over the years, we’ve planted, moved, pruned, photographed, tested, and cared for more than 200 hydrangeas.

Some have thrived.

Some have surprised us.

Some have taught us lessons the hard way.

Along the way we’ve answered thousands of questions from fellow gardeners trying to figure out the same things:

“What hydrangea do I have?”

“Why didn’t mine bloom?”

“Did I prune at the wrong time?”

Those conversations—and our own experience in the garden—shaped this handbook.

Our goal wasn’t to create another gardening book.

It was to create the resource we wish every hydrangea gardener had before picking up the pruners.

Garden With Confidence

Every gardener starts somewhere.

Whether you’re caring for one hydrangea by your front porch or planning an entire garden filled with beautiful blooms, we hope this handbook becomes a resource you’ll reach for season after season.

Our goal has always been to make gardening less confusing and more enjoyable.

If this handbook helps you prune with confidence, understand your plants a little better, or enjoy even one more season of beautiful blooms, then we’ve accomplished exactly what we set out to do.
