Hydrangeas

| I've been in NC for a year now and I'm originally from NJ. Not used to such a HOT HOT sun! I'm in a brand new construction with hardly any shade and of course my husband knowing how much I love hydrangeas keeps buying them for me - I've got 8 and some of them are barely hanging on. Those that get some afternoon shade are doing ok but all of them are still small and none have any buds on them. Could this be because of the frost we had over Easter? I know I read that some of the bloom times are going to be delayed because of that frost.
I hope I get a few flowers this year from some of them. I did plant 3 trees this year so maybe in 10 years I'll get some shade :-)
TIA!
Heather
