Hydrangeas are a fantastic shrub for any garden, but they need to be planted in the right place to produce their beautiful blooms year-after-year. They are not highly drought-tolerant plants as their ideal spot is dappled shade with moist but well-drained soil
Some types of hydrangea are more tolerant of dry conditions than others, however, all will need watering and this becomes more important in hot and dry weather, when they can start to wilt.
