How Do You Turn Pink Hydrangeas Blue?
Hydrangeas come in many beautiful colors from green to white, pink, and blue. The color is largely dependent on the ph balance of your soil. Mixing a few simple ingredients into your soil can yield dramatically different results. If you’re tired of your pink hydrangeas, and would like to turn them into blue, then follow these easy steps! As I mentioned earlier, the color of your hydrangeas is largely determined by the ph balance of your soil. An acidic soil is that with a ph of roughly 5.2 to 5.5. This will bring on the blue hues. A soil ph above 6 encourages the pink blooms to grow. To make your soil more acidic you need to mix your soil 50/50 with sphagnum peat moss. If you already have planted pink hydrangeas, you will need to dig them up, mix up your soil, and then replant them. If you’ve purchased a quantity of pink, and decided that you would like to add blue, just add the 50/50 mixture to the area of your garden that you would like to see blue, and plant accordingly.
