Why Do My Hydrangeas Look Burnt

All hydrangeas will turn brown if they wilt too many times in hot weather. Water these shrubs deeply every few days in the heat of the summer (note that hand watering isn’t deep enough) and mulch around plants to hold moisture in the soil longer.

How do you revive a burnt hydrangea?

To revive hydrangeas water them generously, apply a mulch of compost and protect hydrangeas from direct sun and too much wind. Prune back any frost damaged or sun burnt growth to promote healthy growth.

How do you treat a sunburned hydrangea?

The leaves will also scorch in the heat of the summer. The recommended care is to provide them with a soaking two or three times a week during dry, sunny periods and move them to a shadier site or provide more shade where they are growing.
