Glad to be here ! The afternoon sun on the porch is filtered by a row of tall pine trees. In the nursery it was outside under a netting ceiling with about 20 other hydrangeas. Does it take a year or another growing or blooming season for the blooms to become blue? I was wondering if the sudden sun is what hurt it. I assume those blackened leaves will all fall off. My experience has been with Christmas cactus, begonias indoors and azaleas and roses outside. Thank you for the help. So sorry I can't post pictures, need new camera right now.
