| We planted four climbing hydrangea this spring. They have grown a little and appear healthy. They are at the back of our yard against a chain link fence that borders a cliff wall below. I am wondering if there is anything special I should do to prepare them this Fall for the winter months? |

| You could mulch. Do not fertilize as you want the plant to begin to go dormant now and fertilizers might force the plant to stay in growth mode. About 1/2 to 1 cup in June is all they need in a year. Do not prune so next year's blooms are not cut. It would be ok to amend the soil now if there are any signs of iron chlorosis. |
