I prune in the fall after it blooms. I didn't know you could divide them. I like to get the heavy flowers cut before winter, since ice and snow can break the branches.
Hello Cwhitt0247 :) Different varieties of hydrangeas need to be pruned at different times of the year. I am posting below two links to help you out.
