In northern climates "Annabelle" and "pee gee" hydrangeas can be cut back to eight inches, and still produce a three foot-high shrub with flowers during the summer. "Mophead", "Lacecap" and "oakleaf" hydrangeas set their blooms in late August, September or October, so you have to prune them in early August to be sure you aren't cutting off next year's blooms.
