Winter Care of Hydrangea in North Dakota

Question

How do we care for our hydrangea plants for the winter? Is there a need to prune them back and cover them with the styrofoam cones?

Answer 1

Try waiting until spring to prune it. Wait until you see what survived the winter and cut off the stems that did not. These articles will help:
