No they will not tolerate full sun.They need morning sun and afternoon shade
Check out this article. While they always prefer some protection from the harsh summer afternoon sun, in the northern half of the country you can expose them to more sunlight. Also keep in mind reflected sunlight bouncing off other surfaces such as cemented driveways etc. My MIL who lives in Mass-NH border successfully grows Nikko Blue on the west side of her apartment complex. In the summer, she gets sun in that area from around 12-1pm until 6-7pm.
So go ahead and try it. Then monitor the plant weekly, especially during the summer. If you notice that the leaves in direct contact with the sun begin to turn all yellow, including the leaf veins, that means they are getting too much sun and should be transplanted to a more shaded location. Or somehow provide them with more shade if you want them to remain there.

Not too well, as they can't have full sun all day.
I love Hydrangeas. When I lived in S PA I had several varieties, all in full sun. THhey tolerated drought or heavy rains and our soul was mostly clay so drained poorly. Living in Tampa now for 5 years. Have killed so many hydrangeas I have lost count. The few who have survived flower poorly or not at all. Just planted 4 more here ( slow learner). Two are in full shade and two in partial sun. Those in the shade are holding their own. I might even say they look healthy. Those in the partial sun are struggling. Planning to move them ASAP in an effort to save them. I would try shade if I were you.
