Hydrangeas

How Blue Does Your Garden Grow?

 via

The other day I went shopping for a few flowers and plants to go on my back deck.

We've had a cold spring and so I'm getting a late start.

But as soon as I got to the nursery I was bombarded with hydrangeas.

Endless summer hydrangeas to be specific.

I've planted these in my front beds in the past and they haven't been very successful.

Too much sun in my front yard.

But I vow to try them again...this time on the side of my house.

How amazing is this?

Hydrangeas bloom in many colors.

 Mine were blue which is my favorite but they turned kind of a mauve color.

Which I didn't care for.

I know the color has to do with the ph of your soil and I've read many times what to add to the soil

to make them grow blue or make them grow pink but I can never remember.

So I was happy when I discovered on the Endless Summer website this...

Now you can just buy the blue bottle or the pink bottle.

No confusion.

A garden full of hydrangeas is a beautiful place to be.
