Features Daniel is a gardener who has a long history working in landscaping and building trades. He completely redesigned his garden and is continually experimenting with new ornamental plants and products. Tap water in hard water areas has higher levels of alkaline, which will counteract the acidic compost or additives that make or keep hydrangeas blue. You’ve probably heard that you can change the colour of hydrangea flowers by making some changes to the soil.

Hydrangeas growing in the presence of iron or aluminium salts will tend to change colour and produce blue flowers. Varieties naturally pale pink tend to blue best, the darker pink varieties turning to mauve/ blue. Best results are obtained with plants growing in acid soil. If the soil is alkaline the following proportions should be doubled.Perfect for changing the colour of your hydrangeas from their natural pink colour, this colourant acidifies the soil to promote the growth of blue flowers. The colourant works best on pale pink flowers but can be used on darker flowers turning them a mauve colour. I used and preferred the powder as it was cheaper, lasted longer, and I’ve been told that the liquid can easily burn the leaves if spilt.
