i too grow hydrangeas but my trouble is not with them wilting but with
them changing colors from year to year. does anyone know what that's
all about?

Are they fading to white?
Not sure exactly what it is, but there is some sort of supplement/nutrient
you can add to the soil. I better keep an eye on this thread, as I'll want
to do the same, (make sure they stay blue), for next year.
If no one answers, and I'm sure plenty will g, you can look it up here or
in Google, as I know they've been topics before. Just didn't have my
hydrangea in, so wasn't paying attention.
There are a few other flowers that do this, such as the peony, they tend to
lose their original colors, after many years.
If anyone does answer, please let me know about the peonies, also, if you
can.

Good luck with yours
