Hydrangeas Died After 2 Days Planted

Question

just planted my hydrangeas in zone 5 and they have turned brown in 2 days. They get partial sun. Because it’s so new and still “early spring” should I cut them back over a leaf bud or just wait until next year? Thanks Erica

Answer 1

Unfortunately, your photos did not come through. The most likely causes for this type of transplant shock is too much sun, or overwatering.

Here is an article to help you care for the plant:
