VITAX HYDRANGEA COLOURANT 500GM

Product Information

The colour of other plants can be intensified by treating with Hydrangea Colourant in the same manner. This quick guide to growing blue hydrangeas was created by Daniel Woodley here at DIY Gardening and was first published on the 6th of June, 2022. These are supplied in granular, liquid and in powdered formats depending on the brand and the type of use. It’s true, and it’s a fairly simple task, I know as I did it a few years back at my previous property. Hydrangeas will only produce blue flowers in acidic soil, and if your hydrangea is blue and you haven’t made any changes to the soil, it’s most likely because the soil is naturally acidic.

That’s why some blue hydrangeas purchased in garden centres change colour after a year or two; they were initially grown in soil with a different pH. The colourant works best on pale pink flowers but can be used on darker flowers turning them a mauve colour.
