Wondering how others in zone 5 prepare for winter. I have made a chickenwire cage around the hydrangeas and filled it with chopped leaves. This has served me well, however, others in my neighborhood do nothing and have great looking plants. Is there any tried and true rule? I have hydrangeas on the southwest of the house with little protection and also on the southeast, again with little protection. Thanks. Susan
