The showy hydrangea has a special trick up its sleeve

With their showy flowers, Hydrangeas have an old fashioned charm about them.  Although they are low maintenance plants, if they have the  proper care they will reward us with many blooms in the Summer months.

Hydrangeas enjoy morning sun and afternoon shade. They also enjoy being planted in a slightly acidic soil which should be kept moist throughout the summer.

If you wish to change the colour of Hydrangea flowers, here is how – sprinkle Lime or Aluminium Sulphate on the soil around the base of the Hydrangea.

From Blue to Pink – use Garden Lime.

From Pink to Blue – Aluminium Sulphate.

White – Difficult to change.
