Shorten last year’s flowering stems evenly to 2–3 buds from their base (usually leaving 20–40 cm, depending on the size you want) to stimulate strong new shoots with large, well-supported panicles. Remove weak, inward-growing or crossing stems completely to keep an open framework and good air flow; aim for around 8–12 main stems in total, depending on the plant’s age and size. To rejuvenate older plants, cut about one-third of the oldest stems down low each year. In containers, use slightly harder pruning to maintain a compact, upright shape that can carry the weight of the flower heads. The dried flower heads can be left on over winter for decorative effect and removed in spring. Always work with clean tools and water and feed moderately after pruning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\u003c!-- ⚪ MODULE 7: Table --\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"fx-tables\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"table-scroll\"\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table\"\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emj\"\u003e🔎\u003c\/span\u003e Feature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetails\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emj\"\u003e🌿\u003c\/span\u003e Scientific name\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cem\u003eHydrangea paniculata 'Wim's Red'®\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emj\"\u003e🪴\u003c\/span\u003e Pot\/Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e15 cm • height ~30 cm • deciduous shrub, still growing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emj\"\u003e☀️\u003c\/span\u003e Light\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSun–partial shade; morning sun and half-day light enhance colour intensity.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan class=\"emj\"\u003e💧\u003c\/span\u003e Watering\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRegular, with soil kept lightly moist but well-drained.
