Grasses should be cut back when dormant—any time between late fall and early spring. While there is no exact timing, you’ll want to be sure to remove the old blades before new growth begins.
A reduction cut may be performed while still allowing about 50% of the branch. This is done to help maintain form and deter the formation of co-dominant leaders. Temporary branches may be too large for a removal cut so subordination pruning should be done to slowly reduce a limb by 50% each year to allow the tree to properly heal from the cut.
Old wood hydrangeas can be cut back by one third. Don't prune these hydrangeas down to the ground, but, if you're trying to reduce the size of the plant, trim it down by one third.
