I live in Greensboro, NC and am selling my house. I have four hydrangea plants that I want to take with me. The oldest is over 10 years old and the newest about 4 years. What month should I move them, and will they survive in Highland, NC (mountain area)?
It is hard to say if they will survive in the new location. Most likely they will, but I would need to know the variety to say for certain. In terms of moving them, the 10 year old plant would probably not make the move, but the 4 year old plant might. You run the risk of losing the plants if they 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. This article will help with that:

Can I cut a Hydrangea back to the ground, and will it grow back better? I have one that hasn't bloomed in a few years, not sure what to do with it. I got it from my daughter, who built a new home and had to move it about 4 years ago. It hasn't done well for me. It had big beautiful blooms for her. It is a blue one.
It will come back, but it most likely will not fix the blooming problem. This article will help with that:

I'm trying to identify a shrub which has green leaves (similiar to hydrangea leaves). It has white tips, and does not flower. Can you help?

I purchased a hydrangea that had its blossoms hit by frost. What is the best way to minimize the frost damage?
I would not prune them right now, though you can trim off the damaged flower blossoms. Most hydrangeas bloom on old growth, so if you prune, you will lose the blooms next year. They will regrow their leaves when spring comes, as long as the stems are alive. Once you see what stems have died, you can trim them away.
My hydrangeas start with lovely blue-pink flowers but always end up turning green. The bush is next to a fence that will get some sun in the morning but later will be in shade.
