Hydrangeas, again

I have moved the hydrangea from the front, the east side of the house, to the north side of the garage. I really, really liked it out front, right by the porch, but it kept getting droopy from too much sun. I may not have given it enough water but I thought I did. Anyway, I bought two more and put them all on the same side of the garage. That gives me four along there, counting the one my youngest granddaughter gave me two years ago. It has buds and I'm anxious to see the blooms. All are pink but I do want blue.

I told a male friend that the plants look pretty silly sitting there so far from the garage wall but I didn't want them too close. He said they should be three feet from the building. That's just about where they are, maybe slightly less. I have a bed of lily of the valley there and put the hydrangeas just in front. I don't think they will choke out the flowers. They are so thick and they thrive in that shady area. I think they'll be fine.
