Re: pruning Hydrangea, mop head

I second that. I've always been confused as to when to prune hydrangeas
also. So I just don't. I know I'm going to have to prune Madame Emile though
as her branches are dragging the ground right now from all the heavy flower
heads and rain. I guess maybe just pruning out old wood and old flower heads
is enough?
