I am wondering how I can get the flower color to change on my hydrangea

Posted on December 30, 2001

Question:
Hi Chuck....I am wondering how I can get the flower color to change on my hydrangea....I like them pink but they mostly come up every year blue....I know it has something to do with the soil.....can you tell me how I can regulate the ground soil so i get the color I want.
Thanks.
Barbara

Answer:
Thank you for your inquiry. Aluminum Sulphate can be added to the soil to encourage more blue for the hydrangeas, for more acidity.
