Thank you very much. :)

Seeing your photo, get rid of the bare stems as this helps the hydrangea pour its energy into the live parts of the plant instead of trying to maintain the dead. I usually wait till my hydrangeas leaf out so I know where to cut to green growth or what is truly dead. And that is normal for many hydrangeas to have these dead stems. You can cut right to the ground without harming your shrub.

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you.

Foundation plantings oft don't get enough water because most soil levels are such as to shed water away. Also there is often a foot or two of roof overhang, especially in two-story or older homes. Or even with no overhang, rain will only hit the plant's base if it's coming from the direction the wall faces. In these cases, water deeply (until the water "stands" for a few seconds) twice a week for the duration of he growing season. You'll notice a "huge" difference!

They are showing some new growth and are looking better, I think they'll be okay thank you everyone!
