    I suspect the culprit is slugs, since they do come out at night and disappear during the day. While you would not always see them, if you know for certain they are there or find evidence of their nightly visits, this should confirm the fact that they are munching on your shrub. This article will help:

    If it's not slugs, it could be due to other insects or a fungus of some sort. In this case, neem oil may help. Here is more information: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/problems/pests/neem-oil-uses.htm

    Have you had the soil tested? This would help provide insight into what, if anything, is missing in your soil as well as the current pH (hydrangeas are acid lovers, so coffee grounds mixed in the soil won't hurt).

    It could be any number of different pests, (slugs, snails or earwigs). I had a problem myself this year, so for me personally, I made a batch of sugar water, (2 cups boiling water to 1/4 cup sugar), let it cool, put it in small containers, (cat food cans work great),and sat the cans next to all my plants, even in my vegetable garden. No more bugs.

    White Hydrangea cannot be changed to pink or blue by the grower.

    A White will sometimes add some tinges of pink as the plant ages.

    It is not unusual for a plant to be miss labeled in the greenhouse.

    It really depends on what your zone and what the hardiness of the plants are. Putting a plant in an unheated garage is the same as keeping it one zone above your own zone. So if you live in Zone 5 and you store the hydrangea in the garage, it would be like leaving it outside in Zone 6. The hydrangea will survive fine if it is able to survive Zone 6 or higher.
