The reason Endless Summer Hydrangeas bloom longer is because they start blooming on old wood and end up blooming on new wood. So don't cut off any old wood you want to form next years flowers. Usually you would prune them after they finish blooming on old wood. You could remove the oldest stalks (previous years) and keep the more recent ones (this years).
