don’t prune it…. feed it…. get it some protection from winter freeze…. the mophead hydrangea sets blooms along about now for next season…. pruning now or later this fall or winter cuts them off…. a late freeze in spring can ruin the flower buds, too…. a good feed now will help for next spring…. protection can be just some nice neighboring plants to block winds , a nice deep mulch around the root area, or go all the way and set up a cage of chicken wire, fill it with leaves and then wrap the whole thing with burlap to protect the plant… don’t unwrap it till all your frosts are done and over…… of course, plenty of water thru the warm months and a little sun in the morning is helpful, too….
this is a great site to read up on the plant…
