Default Hydrangeas

Hi

I have a Hydrangea which still has dead heads on it should I remove them

now
the buds are coming through?

Cut back to a bud but not too far. If there is a late frost this bud will
possibly get killed so you can then cut back further to another bud.

Also I believe to make them flower blue they need certain soil

conditions,
is there
anything I can do to help this?

Don't know what it's called but you can get something to water on them. I
think it's just the pH that causes the colour.
