My hydrangea is looking very sorry for itself. How can I help it?

It was quite small when planted about a month ago, but had one flower. It is wilting a lot, although it is in quite a shady place and is watered daily.

Hydrangeas like semishade, rich porous soil, and lots of water, specially in this hot summer weather. Water the plant daily until soaking wet, preferably in the morning.
Reply:They need lots of water and sun will make them wilt something awful. The prefer the north side of a house.
Reply:Depending on where you live now it is really too hot to put it in sun. You must not be watering enough even though you say you are every day. If it is in a pot you must fill up the pot every time you water. And let it drain then fill it again. If it is in the ground a thorough soaking(let the water run on low for maybe 30 minutes) is required every few days. Good luck :-)
Reply:You should try putting it ona sunny place.Your flower is problaly not growing maybe because it is too much shade. Or try putting some rich soil.
