Young Hydrangea frost damage

Question

I got some hydrangea in fall. They are only supposed to get 2 feet high. We planted them in October and we had our first frost last night. 11/10. They are now completely wilted. Will they come back?

Answer 1

It would have been better to plant them in spring. If they are cold tolerant variety, then they have a chance. Once they die back, it would be a good idea to mulch them. Here is an article for more information.
