My first hydrangeas! My husband bought them for me for Mother’s Day. They were looking a little rough at the beginning but now they are so happy as am I!! I can’t wait to see how big they get 🥰🥰

Magnificent

Thank you! I really want the blue ones but I will absolutely settle for this color as well 🥰

#### Amber replied on 2024-05-19

You can often change the color by changing the soil ph. I personally just prefer to buy one in every color 🤣🤣

I see nothing wrong with buying every color! My bank account on the other hand 🤣😂😅😭

I work in a garden center so I buy them when I clearance them 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

To keep flowers blooming blue, you need acidic soil. You can amend the soil with soil acidified from nursery or hardware store such as Lowe’s or Home Depot

I heard if you take a rusted tool like a saw blade and stick it in the soil it can turn them blue as well? Do you know if that’s true?

I have not heard of that, but it sounds unsafe.
