Hi,





Not knowing your planting technique, I can't tell if they were planted correctly.





I would suggest dropping my an email at dagardenguy@yahoo.com with your details of planting. I am willing to help, but I need more information.





Thanks for asking and I look forward to helping you!

Give them a dose of sea weed extract (available garden centres). Its a tonic and a root promoter and stops transplant shock. do not fertilize.





Location sounds good and if you planted with the soil as the same height on the stem as they were in the pot you can't do much wrong with planting. They could just have a bit of transplant shock. don't overwater but they do need regular watering and should not be allowed to dry out until established.
Reply:Don't know where you live, but hydraneas can not tolerate full, hot sun. They like partial shade and good moist soil.
Reply:They like acidic soil. Your local hardware or nursery will carry a soil acidifier, either a liquid or powder/granual.
