Hydrangea petals brown on edges: Not enough water? Or too much?

I just planted them a few days ago, and I'm really new to this whole gardening thing. I water them every morning, could they need more than once a day?
Hydrangea petals brown on edges: Not enough water? Or too much?
Watering every morning might be too much. A long, slow watering is better than a short, fast watering - i.e. a hose set to "trickling," set under your plant for a half hour is better than pointing a full stream of water at it for a few minutes. When my hydrangeas need water, they wilt. Browning might be a reaction to too much sun - hydrangeas do well in part to heavy shade, and better if it's morning sun that's hitting them, instead of afternoon. If you just planted them, you should be able to move them to a shadier spot without too much trouble. You could also give them a little food to help them adjust to their new home - look for an acid-loving plants food at your local nursery (I use Max Sea Acid Loving Plant Food). Good luck!
