hiztreebuff asked:

I want to plant a climbing hydrangea out front. I have vinyl siding. Can it climb it? I have Boston Ivy climbing out back and it doesn’t seem to harm the vinyl. Do they climb the same way?

I just planted 2 Hydrangea bushes.
The flowers are in full bloom now.
Do I pick them to prompt further growth?
Is there anything special that I should do to care for them?
I used a good soil (Miracle Grow) and dug to the recommended depth that the nursery told me.

I have been watering once daily. Is this too much?

Please help. I have such a black thumb but I’m giving my yard my best attempt this year.
Best answer – 10 pts! Thanks!!
I planted in mostly shade where they get a bit of sun after 2 PM

Krista asked:

I planted it about a month ago and it was fine. The temp dropped and there was a heavy frost for a few nights. All leaves have turned brown but I can see what appears to be new buds close to the stems. I have never had a hydrangea before so I have no idea. Any help is appreciated.
