Pruning Advice
Lacecap hydrangeas are fairly hardy shrubs so can be regularly pruned if desired. Regular pruning will encourage new, vigorous growth that can produce a fuller display of flowers. Prune back any frost damaged shoots in spring and cut out any stems that trail on the ground or are looking weak. The faded flowerheads in autumn can also be cut back after flowering to prevent seed developing as this will sap energy from the shrub.
If you have left your Lacecap shrub for a while and it is looking a little neglected, you can completely renovate it by cutting off all the stems at the base. This however will postpone any flowering until summer of the following year.

Hydrangea 'Lacecap Red' shrubs are bushy but compact deciduous shrubs that provide long-lasting seasonal colour. In spring, red stems produce deep-green, toothed leaves with red-veins. Large, flattened, pinky-white flowers appear in summer that deepen to rosy-pink/red and surround a central cluster of small, pinkish-green, fertile flowers to which they attract bees and butterflies. The Lacecap Red flowerheads are long-lasting into autumn and the foliage takes on warm reddish-purple tones for additional seasonal interest.
Hydrangea 'Lacecap Red' should be grown in a sheltered position away from cold, drying winds to prevent damage to new buds. For the brightest flowering, 'Lacecap Red' should be grown in full sun with some afternoon shade. To retain the deep rsoy-pink flower colour, the soil should be kept alkaline. If the soil is neutral or acidic the flowers will take on a blue hue.
A compact yet bushy shrub, Hydrangea 'Lacecap Red ' will bring vibrant, long-lasting colour to flower beds and herbaceous borders. Plant singly or in multiples for greater visual appeal.
Although pruning isn't necessary, a reasonable prune back in early spring will encourage vigorous growth and increased flower production with good colour in the summer. You can also choose to remove the spent flowers in autumn to tidy up the plant. To renovate an overgrown plant, cut off all the stems at the base, but you may need to wait a year before it's ready to flower again.
