Hi Tom. It could be a couple of things and i'm no expert so this is just an opinion.
Wind burn can occur, esp if it's a hot wind.
Fertiliser burn. Did you feed the soil with the 20-20-20 before or after the burning problem? Was there residual fertiliser in the soil from a previous season?
Direct sunlight can do it, though you said you've planted in the shade.
Do any of these sound likely?

The powdery mildew is a type of fungus. Remove the infected parts and use an appropriate fungicide. The hydrangea usually like partial shade... but the best time to plant them is early fall... Old branches or dead-wood should be removed in the spring...and in the summer prune old or damaged growth and stems that have carried flowers. Do not cut new growth...hope this helps...
