While the leaves don't look like they're wilting, newly planted hydrangeas need plenty of moisture until the roots get established. I wouldn't fertilize the first year but if you have some compost, you could top-dress with that (under the mulch). Keep an eye on your plants when using dyed mulches. You can also trim off the brown flower heads and let the plant energy go back into establishing some new leaves and a stronger plant.
Only when the last tree has died and the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realize that we can't eat money. Cree proverb
