If you transplant a hydrangea at other times, it will be more difficult for the plant to rest from transplant shock. For example: If you transplant it in the summer, temperature and moisture issues could complicate transplant shock to the point where the plant may not sort it.

Hydrangeas purchased from a garden center have be growing outdoors in a pot. Potted Hydrangeas can be planted at any time of the year but you'll enjoy to make sure they don't dry out within the summer & you should especially avoid planting a hydrangea in EARLY spring when the leaves are first emerging. This is the most perilous time to change the location of a hydrangea because a belated freeze can zap the foliage back & the hydrangea might not rest.

"Best time to transplant hydrangeas is when they are dormant (after most of the leaves have fall off the hydrangeas)."

Good Luck! Hope this is positive.
Hi:
The best time to transplant a Hydrangea shrub is in the dive. How old is your shrub? I recommend to my clients not to transplant the Hydrangea if within the ground for more then three to four years. The roots are already established.
If you can transplant the shrub, here are a few tips for you.
Take your shovel and loosen the dirt around the podium of the shrub. I get down on my hand and knees as I want to look for the main root or mother root. Take your shovel and kindly lift the primary roots out.
Have your new hole in position and add some natural mushroom compost to the soil. This is an organic fertilizer that will second up to one year. It doesn't smell great but your Hydrangea will love it.
Take a hose and slow drip around the base of the shrub for roughly speaking ten minutes. Do this two to three times a week for the first few weeks.
There is always a unsystematic your Hydrangea may go into shock. This can be everyday with transplaning any plant specimens. Take your fingernail and scrape a branch and if it is green - it is healthy. If it is brown, it may be contained by shock. Go ahead and add a handfull of six month slow nitrogen release fertilizer. You can do this again contained by spring. This should help and verbs to water.
Also remember - Hydrangeas will exchange color with the different tart levels surrounded by your soil. One of my favorites is the Endless Summer!
I hope this has help some and good luck to you. If you entail any further help or other plan out ideas - I will contact you to my gallery of plants section and site map. I own information on different Hydrangeas and zones. Have a great time!
