Last year I bought a Hydrangea plant for my garden.
I think I bought it in August or September so it didn’t do anything last year except settle itself into it’s new home. I believe it’s an Endless Summer Hydrangea and it was definitely labeled as a *pink* hydrangea.
It started to bloom about two weeks ago, and much to my surprise it’s flower clusters are not pink, nor are they blue … they are bi-colored!
My Hydrangea is severely confused!
I guess I’d better decide if I really want it to be pink or blue and then get out there and amend the soil appropriately. I believe you need to add lime to the soil if you want pink Hydrangeas and Aluminum to the soil if you want blue Hydrangeas. I’ll do some research.
If you have hydrangeas, did yours ever do this? Isn’t it strange?
