Hydrangeas: Declining Annabelles, 1 by sherriseden

I put these 'Annabelle' hydrangeas in last year and they did sort of OK . . . Blooms were nice but few, flopped a lot, and wanted constant water. This year, they did less OK (see pic from June this year) . . . fewer blooms, lots of flop.

I'm convinced now that they are not happy where I have them. They get morning sun and afternoon shade, which I thought was perfect, but I see Annabelles around her growing in full sun and looking way better! Perhaps they don't like being crowded together and next to the house? I thought of moving them to a new garden I dug by garage under the drip line and with a bit more sun. Do you think that would help?
