Renee B on May 09, 2012Funny I had a similar question. One of my Hydrangea paneculata (sp) just turned brown and reddish color while in bloom and now looks wilted and dead. I have watered and all the other ones seem to be doing fine. When I did the scraping on the bark it has some green on the stem. Should I just leave it and see or is it a goner? Really puzzled as to what could have killed it.Helpful Reply

360 Sod (Donna Dixson) on May 09, 2012Leave it and see, you have nothing to lose. Pretend it is alive and treat it as such until you are sure it is dead. Hydrangeas are wonderfully resilient.Helpful Reply

Kathy R on May 10, 2012We had them along our front walk. They got so big they blocked the walk LOL We dug them in March cut them in half and stuck them in the back bed (my I dont know what to do with this plant bed). They took off like crazy. They are tough plants !1 marked as helpful Reply
