Cutting back Hydrangeas


Question
Today is November 29... we live on Cape Cod... yesterday our lawn maintenance people came to rake and mow (the usual pre-winter cleanup).  After they left, I discovered that they had cut back all 7 of our Hydrangea plants right to the ground - only about 2 inch stubs are left.  5 of the shrubs are "Endless Summer", the other 2 are "Lace Cap".  How badly have the shrubs been damaged?  What can I expect next spring?

Answer
I'm going to guide you to a couple of websites:

http://www.agnr.umd.edu/users/cmrec/art4.htm

http://aggie-horticulture.tamu.edu/county/smith/tips/trees/hydrangea.html

You might call the company and ask what they are going to do about the situation--especially if they don't grow back!
I'm all for speaking your mind and getting results!
