We're into autumn and the cycles of many plants are winding down. Leaves turn and fall. Flowers wilt and dry out. Hydrangea are known to have shifting petal colors based on the pH of the soil where they're growing – from pink to purple to blue. Turning brown is a different matter, of course, and not necessarily because its the end of the season. It can also be they've been getting full, direct sun during the day, which will shorten their colorful display.
