I have a border of big leaf blue snowball hydrangea that I've only had the pleasure of seeing in bloom for one out of the last four summers. Brutal winters were the reason for two, and deer for this summer, when they got into the yard and nipped every bud and most of every leaf. I have netted all of my other shrubs, but don't know what to do about the hydrangeas. If they have been nipped this fall, will there be any buds in the spring? What is the best way to protect them from both deer and frost?
