 Important Information

Acid levels in the soil will greatly determine the flower colour of this Hydrangea variety. (Many people are content to plant them straight into their chosen positon without adding anything to the soil and letting the natural soil condition determine their own colours, whilst other people want a specific hue and will work on their soil to influence the flower colours.)

Acidic soils bring out the blues and purples. 

The majority of soils in Australia are acidic.

Alkaline soils bring out pinks to reds.

To increase acid levels in your soil you can add aluminium sulphate, ferrous sulphate or pine needles to bring out the intense blues of the variety. 

For greater alkalinity add powdered lime, wood ash or powdered shell. 

This need to be done before blooms form.

We work hard to try and ensure our notes on the variety/varieties listed are true and correct, but do not accept any responsibility for errors or information that may have occured either by my staff or myself.
