If they are in the bright sun all day will cause this Did you use too much fertilizer? Hydrangea cant get too much water. also iron will effect My soil has a lot of iron & mine are purple

It will take time for the colors to change if any new flowers come they may be blue You might try putting some iron nails in the soil ( a trick my grand dad showed me). It works

I have heavy clay soil too. My hydrangeas take a lot of extra water this time. They wilt very quickly without the extra water.
