If you live in the northern range for hydrangeas, they need extra protection in the winter from freezing and dehydration. (I live in CT, and couldn't get blooms until I began wrapping mine.) There are many ways to do this, but this is what works for me. In the fall, spray branches with an anti-desiccant. I use "Wilt-pruf" or "Wilt Stop". Tie the branches up gently with twine, to keep plant compact. Pound 4 stakes as tall as the plant in a square shape around it, leaving a few inches of clearance. Staples burlap to the 4 stakes. GENTLY fill the "cube" with mulch or dead leaves -- it's easy to break branches inadvertently. In spring after a spell of warm weather, gently unwrap the hydrangea. Be sure the whole cube has thawed all the way through, (this takes much more warm weather than you'd think) -- otherwise the frozen blob will tip over from the unsupported water weight and, again, break branches. Carefully remove the mulch or leaves and untie the branches. You should see lots of green buds at the branch ends -- these will be flowers. The buds break off really easily, too.
