I recently recieved a hydrangea plant. It had large full round bloom heads. They faded and died after about 2 weeks. I snipped off the dead flower heads. Will the plant bloom again this year?
No, it will only bloom once a season.
Here are some articles to help you.

the pot is approx 50cms diameter and 36cms deep
While you don’t have to use dwarf hydrangeas in pots, you may want to if your space is limited. Hydrangeas don’t just get tall; they also get bushy. Look for plants specific to your growing zone and size constraints.

Shall I put a container around them to hooplas them stand up. Shall I take off the bad leaves? Thank you. The blooms look good. Purple color
I wouldn't remove any leaves that aren't yellow or brown. A young plant needs all the photosynthesis it can get. I think the blooms are too heavy for this plant that hasn't had enough time to sink in strong roots. If you trim a couple to take inside, the plant may straighten up. A hoop is fine as long as you are very careful not to damage stems. Hydrangeas like moist soil and morning sun unless you have one of the ever-blooming hybrids. Keep your plant tag; how to correctly prune hydrangeas depends on the type you have. It is easy to forget by the time you think about pruning.

what do hydrangea look like during winter months?
This depends on the variety of Hydrangea.
Many gardeners leave the flower heads for winter interest.

Zone 3a, front of house, Sun from hours of 7am - 11am. About 5 years ago I planted a Panicle hydrangea. The plant is very sparse and underneath in the soil all around it are these little 2-3 leaf sprigs. They are very short, maybe 4 inches at most off the ground. The leaves are not the same shape as the leaves from the hydrangea but I have this gut feeling as though they are coming from the roots of the plant?
The plants below are not Hydrangea, but something that has been self seeded in that area. I am not able to identify it though. I would remove it, you could let one or two mature and maybe identification would be easier if a flower forms.
I have moved into a house in March. There were tags in the garden saying Hydrangea, but no plant stems were visible. Now there are leaves sprouting. In reading about the pruning of Hydrangeas, there is no mention of varieties that die back completely in winter. Is this common? Does it affect blooming? I am not sure what variety I have, because the tags blew away in a storm. I think it may have said Endless Summer. These are on the South/West side of the house, close to the foundation and with large shade trees in the yard. I would like to move them another place in the yard. Can this be done without killing them? If so, when is the best time to move them without disturbing bloom time. I am an experienced gardener, but have never grown Hydrangeas. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you.
In areas where temperatures annually stay below freezing for long stretches, hydrangeas die back every winter leaving a mound of dead stems to prune away in spring.

In past years the blooms were big, but this year I have lots of blooms but they are small. We had a hurricane and snow all in the same season. This is the second year after that. Is the plant still recovering?
What is your normal feeding routine? These should be fed once per year in early spring for best flowering. An all-purpose will suffice.
Is there an adequate amount of shade? Too much sun can stunt them as well.
