The only thing I've done is put some wire support around the one in total
shade. That helps, though I don't like the look of the wire and posts. I'd
do more but the arthritis has been acting up badly for a week or so, and I'm
lucky to get much done. The other hydrangea I've left to the wills of itself
and nature.
