    If a cutting from the plant produced blooms in another location, then the location is the issue. Judging from your comment that the leaves look beautiful, there is probably too much nitrogen in the soil where it is located. This causes lush foliage growth and no blossoms. Have the soil tested and start to use a phosphorous rich fertilizer for a few months.

    You run the risk of losing the plants when are large, as larger plants are more susceptible to transplant shock. I would recommend taking cuttings, regardless if you move them or not. That way if they die when moved, you will still have their offspring to plant.

    They need about 2 inches of water a week, either from rainfall or the hose. As far as where they thrive, that depends on what variety you plan on growing. If you tell us the variety, we can tell you how cold tolerant it is.

    I suspect that either the aluminum in the soil is getting low or the pH in the soil is going up and they are beginning to fade into the pink side. This article will help you regain their color: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/shrubs/hydrangea/change-hydrangea-color.htm
