Noreaster - What a pretty and healthy hydrangea! Mine is much smaller, but it may grow some in its new location if it survives. I've had this one for 3 years. Just before winter we surround it and our roses with a wire mesh staked together to form a cylindrical little cage around the plant and we fill it with leaves. So far, no problems....I think the cage keeps things from falling on the branches. I took a picture of my new little fledgling garden in front of my potting shed, and if you look closely you will see it drooping in front. My husband snipped it back to help it recover, so it looks pretty small right now.
