dying hydrangea bushes

Question

I purchased two gorgeous Hydrangea macrophylla, planted them, watered regularly and even gave some plant food for acid loving plants. I misted when they appeared to turn brown on the edges, and none of this has helped to revive my plants. What am I doing wrong? I think that they are dying.

Answer 1

It sounds like you are doing everything right. They may simply be going through some transplant shock from recent planting.
