    Pull back the mulch and check the moisture levels on the soil.
    This looks like it could be due to either lack of water or poorly draining soil and root rot.
    Mulch is good to help with moisture control and keeping the plants cool, but it should be back about 6 inches from the base of the plant.
    I would trim away the dead plant material and review the care information in the link below. Make the watering corrections and see how the plant responds.

    Avoid watering from above and directly into the center of the plant.
    This can cause root rot.
    Allow the soil to dry slightly between waterings. Pull back any mulch at least 6 inches from the base of the plant.
    Remove and discard any leaves that have dropped, this can help stop the spread of fungus or leaf diseases.
    Look for any markings on the leaves.

    This depends on what type of hydrangea it is. Some hydrangeas prefer partially shaded areas, some prefer full sun. Some require more acidic soil, while others do alright in neutral soil. We have many articles on hydrangeas to help you best care for your specific type
