    hydrangea lacecap is usually pruned in spring, old flowerheads are meant to protect the new emerging growth from frost. Fuchsia i would do march/april. can be cut all the way back to the ground every few years, does have a lot of deadwood in it usually. if its not that bad i would give it a light trim as it flowers on newly produced wood.
