Hydrangea

My hydrangeas have wilted despite watering .  Some have lost their leaves  and some very crispy. Do I cut them back or just live in hope?

    Mine also, Im not cutting them back, Im just carrying on with the watering for now (hosepipe ban) and living in hope. It happened in 2018, they bounced back.

    Water well and leave any pruning until Spring.

    Give them a bucketful at a time rather than a daily dribble so the water gets down deep.  They should recover.   As @punkdoc says, leave pruning till spring when they start to green up again and you can identify stems that have not recovered.
