Hi!! 🪴🌿🌱

We recently bought a black steel blue hydrangea and planted it in the ground. We've watered it the last couple of days (however it's been about 29-30 degrees the last couple of days in the UK).

We've not been wanting to over water it but the hydrangea currently looks like this (circled). The one to the left of it was also planted the same day and is a hydrangea but doesn't look as dramatic as this one.

Have we just not given it enough water? Should the hydrangea perk up the next few days if we give it another good water this evening? 🤞🏻

This looks like it’s throwing a little tantrum especially with the heat

I'm hoping that's the case and that it's just being a tad dramatic 🤭🤞🏻
