Hydrangeas Leaves Turning Brown

RE: Hydrangeas Leaves Turning Brown Post By KTibbs (Guest Post) (07/12/2008) My hydrangeas are doing the same thing. I planted them this spring on the north side of a small garden shed. They had good growth at first but now they look spindley and some of the leaves are not as dark green as others. I live in lower Oklahoma and the summers are very hot and humid with little rain. My water resource is my well. Could it be that?

I put pine straw around the plant and it turned blue. It only gets about 5 hours of morning sun, it does get very hot here in S. Ga. This is what I do for mine.

We have gotten a few days of rain and I am not sure if that could effect this type of plant. Hardiness Zone: 6a shopping_addiction_woman from Nashville, IN A: Dear shopping_addiction_woman, It sounds as though your hydrangea may be suffering from a bit of transplant shock. I would just leave it alone for a bit and it should recover just fine. This isn't all that uncommon, especially with potted plants that are transplanted in the garden and suddenly receive large doses of water. Your plant probably didn't received enough moisture at some point while in the pot at the nursery. Once planted and exposed to a couple days of rain, the leaf cells probably become overwhelmed from the sudden change in moisture levels, which caused them to swell up and burst. The brown tips indicate the cells that were destroyed. In a short time the leaves should toughen up and form a sort of "seal" that will prevent this from happening in the future. You can help by keeping your hydrangea watered on a consistant basis.
