Hydrangea problem

Hi guys, I've got two hydrangea, both looking like this. Is this from frost damage or is it something else? What is the best thing to do with it? I'm kinda new to gardening, so please don't be too technical ????
Thanks very much for any advice.

These look like last year's stems, and as you say they seem to have caugth a bit of frost.
If you follow the stem down towards ground level you should see this year's new growth. Taking care not to damage it, prune the old woody stems back. Feed it, and the new growth should take off. I find mine do not tolerate drought so you may need to offer water when it gets hot and dry, especially if it is in full sun.
Thank you very much Gardening Granny. I'll get right on it.
