Why is my hydrangea so sad?

I bought a hydrangea several weeks ago. I really, really want to keep it alive (I am very good at killing flowers) so I potted it with purchased soil. It's an endless summer variety, and the flowers are blue. Anyway, it did well for awhile, blooming just fine. Whenever it would wilt, I knew it needed watered, and afterwards it would perk back up just fine. Well, a few days ago it wilted. So I watered it. But it just wilted more. And more. The soil is still moist, so I have no idea what's wrong with it! The only thing I can think of that's different is that I gave it a couple squirts of fungicide/insecticide as preventative because some of my other flowers had been munched, and some of my veggies had gotten powdery mildew. The hydrangea is in a fairly shady corner, with more sun in the evening I think.

Thanks for your help!
