Hi all...please can anyone help...I inherited these hydrangeas from my late father in law and have kept them lovely all summer, but I went on holiday and came back to this ( see pictures) I don’t know what to do with them...any help appreciated...Tracey.

    If possible, I'd suggest you plant them in the ground. They would appear to be very congested in the present pots. 
    If containers are your only option, they will require something much larger - the next few weeks would be the ideal time to sort them out whichever way you decide to go.

    I agree, they would be happier in the ground. They are struggling unfortunately. 
    As Philippa says, failing that, much larger pots are the way to go  :)

    Did anyone water them while you were on holiday? On the bright side they are still alive and as others say will be happier in the ground.

    My father in law had them for many years in these pots and cut them back every year....can’t believe I’ve ruined them..

    You may have "ruined " them temporarily but they are still alive so all is not lost :)
