Hydrangea Help!

Hydrangea Help!

Hi guys,

A few weeks ago I got given a really nice bright blue Hydrangea as a gift. It was perfect when I got it and now… not so much. I waited for a few days to plant it, I found a spot, prepared the soil with some compost and fertiliser, cleared out any weeds and planted it. A few days later it was really droopy and not too healthy looking, so I watered it and it seemed to be happier.

Now though:
Hydrangea Help!

The flowers have gone a bit brown and every day when I come home from school it seems a bit droopy. After a shower of rain it picks up but that seems to be temporary.

Not sure what to do now… should I move it? Is it too late?

I’m in the UK for people wondering about climate. Its past the last frost and the weather is getting warmer.
