When is the best time to cut back and how far?

Noblesville, IN(Zone 5a)

I found this little bit of info.

I am presuming you have either blue or pink-flowering hydrangea. When you cut back the stems in the fall, you cut off the flower buds for the following year. Hydrangeas can be cut back only in late summer just as the flowers fade. Even then, there is a chance you will remove next years flower buds. However, you can cut back hydrangea just below the faded flowers without ever harming next years bloom. By the way, the new hydrangea Endless Summer can be cut back to any height at any time.
