This is my first year with Hydrangea in the garden. Earlier this year when the plant started to bloom each cluster of flowers was half blue and half pink. It was like the plant couldn’t decide which color it should be. I’ve since heard that newly planted Hydrangeas will often be bi-colored in their first year or so. Of course the PH of the soil can also help to determine whether you’ll have blue or pink flowers if you have a hydrangea that can be either color.
By late summer my Hydrangea’s had decided that they were pink hydrangeas and now that Autumn has arrived the petals have turned a deep rose pink. Lovely! Yes I know the petals are starting to fade as the plant dies down for winter, but I just wanted to show you their gorgeous fall color.
Do you grow Hydrangeas? If so, what kind do you grow?
That is a beautiful plant!
Yes, I used to grow hydrangeas – and had one that had pink and blue flowers on the same plant – which is unheard of (as far as I know), but perhaps it was two small plants planted together many years ago! That would have been a good trick huh?
I also had a deep purple plant which was my fave.
what a lovely photo. Love the color!
Happy WW!!!
Beautiful shot. Makes me want to stick my nose up to the screen and smell them.
I’ve never tried to grow Hydrangeas before. I seem to have what is known as a black thumb, if you catch my drift.;)
Have a great day!
What a gorgeous color! I’m glad they made their minds up to be this shade!
My WW
