Hi Abby, I found the following on the farmer's almanac:- Most hydrangeas thrive in rich, porous, somewhat moist soils. Add compost to enrich poor soil.
- They prefer full sun in the morning, with some afternoon shade; however, many will grow and bloom in partial shade. This is especially true for the bigleaf hydrangeas (see Recommended Varieties below).
- Plant in spring or fall.
- Dig a hole as deep as the root ball and 2 to 3 times as wide.
- Set the plant in the hole and fill it half full with soil. Water. After water is drained, fill the rest of the hole with soil.
- Water thoroughly.
Space multiple hydrangeas about 3 to 10 feet apart.for your reference: http://www.almanac.com/plant/hydrangeaEnjoy your beautiful plants. :) -

Our yard is north facing and they seem to flourish anywhere, but best where they can get some sun. Most important I have discovered is to make sure you cut the bush right down in the fall. -
