I can't imagine many bigleaf hydrangeas looking good at this time of year :-) What exactly about the plant is causing you concern? Any pics?

Fall transplanting is usually not much of a concern but I would temper that comment by wanting to know where you might be located, as well as wondering how late in the fall you might have made this move........

I’m located in the PNW and I moved the plant the end of September. The rest of the hydrangeas don’t look great but they appear to have some life. I’ve never had a blaumaise before and I wondered if they were more sensitive than others. Thank you for your help!

Your best bet is to talk to garden center in your area.

Not a tender plant at all for the PNW :-) Really, NO hydrangea is very picky here! My hydrangeas are showing a mixed range of appearances right now, depending on where in my garden they are located. Some have buds showing; others do not. Some still are holding on to some dried up looking foliage, others still have a few mostly green leaves and some are completely bare :-))

FWIW, it is nearly impossible to kill a hydrangea in this climate so I would not be overly concerned. And that would generally involve not watering it at all in our dry summers! Cold is not an issue nor is a pretty reasonable time of year for transplanting. I think it will be fine.

btw, I can think of no good reason why you would need to inquire at a local nursery.......they are not going to tell you anything more than local growers can :-))

Also the correct spelling is 'Blaumeise', aka 'Blue Tit' or Teller's Blue.
