| I am so excited to find this forum!
I just moved here from California last year. I planted three oakleaf hydrangea on the northside of the house. Part sun part shade. One has leafed nicely...the other two don't look so good. They all started to leaf during that warm spell we had in early April but now the two just look "crispy" they're new little buds from early April are dry and brown. Are these two plants a lost cause?
I live in Northwest Reno where the winds can be bodacious but these plants are protected. |

| I'm sorry no one has answered your question, i have the same question. My hydrangea made it through winter, but i made sure to go and water it on occasion. It really isn't protected from the wind much, but i live almost in downtown and we are warmer than the Northwest. So hopefully someone will tell us about winter protection for hydrangeas or are they just a pipe dream in the desert?? |

| Okay a month later and everything is leafing out. These are half sun half shade medium water wind protected. Guess I got anxious. My lace cap hydrangea came back well....looked dead a month ago but bushy now. Don't know if it will every flower...didn't last summer. I haven't tried mopheads here. Oh, everything was heavily mulched over the winter. |
