Planting Instructions for Hydrangea anomala ssp. petiolaris

Hi! got 3 of these beauties sitting on my porch waiting to be planted. I plan to put 2 of them on one side of the house, spacing 10 feet or so.. and the third one on the other side of the house. I can't seem to find any instructions on how they like to be planted..... close to siding? far? do they mind bushes nearby? How far will it spread away from the wall-meaning, will it take over the bushes to the side of it? Any special instructions on planting now (organic matter etc)? I will most definitely baby them in the spring with organic matter and food and all that, but for now, seeing how here in Chicagoland we are about to dip into 30s, do they really need anything other than a simple planting?

as you can see, i'm full of questions.. Want to do this right :)

help, please? ;)
