Turn your hydrangeas from pink to blue
Chalet’s Tony Fulmer visited WGN Midday News for a “Midday Fix” on Aug. 3, 2009. He described the colorization of hydrangeas from pink to blue by making soil more acidic to promote a free lecture on autumn lawn care Sept. 4 and 5 at Chalet Nursery.
Fulmer said hydrangeas can be turned from pink to blue by making the soil more acidic when planting the shrub. Add one cup of garden sulfur to the hole at planting time and then half a cup directly to the soil surface twice a year from then on. After a year, the change in color will occur.
