Hydrangea Runaway Bride

Hi,
Do you think it is too late to move a couple of hydrangea Runaway Brides that were only planted from containers a couple of months ago? They are quite small still and I fear I have planted them in the ground in too deep shade. I have two new large terracotta pots and was thinking of putting them into them, in a partial shade position. Thanks 😊

Just make sure they're well watered before lifting, and the soil in the containers is also good. Not just compost - that's no use for shrubs long term.
Terracotta isn't great for plants which need a lot of water because it soaks up a lot, so you'll need to be vigilant with watering, especially over summer.
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
