Are my hydrangeas going to die?

I planted them (3 gallon buckets) 5 days ago thinking we were past the cold weather. Even the nursery folks said good time to plant.
Now it's supposed to get into the mid-20s tonight where I live and I don't know what to fricking do.
Do I need to cover them? Will that even help? I'm going to be pissed if I wasted $500 on a wall of dead hydrangeas

No doubt cover them at least.

No expert on hydrangeas, I have some, but I think they are cold tolerant down to 0 F or so, they should be fine.

Cover them to be on the safe side

Dig em up and store in the house!
I vote they'll be fine if covered.

Hydrangeas are cold tolerant. At worse, you might lose blooms

Covering mine saved them during the freeze.

I planted one back in September. I covered it with a garbage bag over the big Feb freeze and it made it through just fine

Give them a thorough watering and you can cover them with a sheet. Hydrangeas are cold tolerant but being newly transplanted it wouldn't hurt if you did that.

Since you just planted them, why not pull them back out and bring them inside to be 100% certain they will survive? That should be pretty easy to do and I can't imagine it would take much more time than watering, wrapping (then unwrapping) and hoping they make it.

Well, did they die? We need an update.

They won’t die.... they just won’t produce flowers. They will be big green bushes if the cold zaps their flower buds
