Caring for my Hydrangea?

I bought a Hydrangea (blue in color) potted plant about 4 days ago, I am wondering what to do with the flowers once the are wilted. Do I cut the whole thing off, or leave them be. And should they be inside or out. I live in Texas and right now it is anywhere between 65 and 80 degrees? Another thing should the blooms be wilted already?

Here is a couple of good sites that explain in pretty good detail. Hydrangea's should be planted outdoors and you can do it at this time, although the fall is the best time. If your planting location is not in the hot sun all day it should be fine. There is a strict pruning practice that needs to be followed with hydrangea's or you may cut off next years blooms. The sites will explain and you should follow them to a "T" if possible. Hydrangea's grow best if they have morning sun and afternoon shade, especially in a hot climate where you are located. They like alot of water also. The name "hydrangea" comes from the greek word meaning "watertub".. Good luck!
