    Hydrangeas are some of the most beautiful garden shrubs with their blooms brightening up any garden with ease. But once the flowers start to fade, you may wonder what to do with them: should you cut them off, or leave them be?

    'Deadheading hydrangeas can help encourage new blooms on your plant and keep the hydrangea looking fresh and beautiful,' says Anna Eklöv, plant expert and founder of LÖV Flowers.

    However, there are some dos and don'ts when carrying out this garden task – deadheading at the wrong time and in the wrong way can do more harm than good.
