Color and Soil pH:
- A unique feature of Hydrangea macrophylla is that flower color is heavily influenced by soil pH.
- Acidic soils (pH below 7) tend to produce blue flowers.
- Alkaline soils (pH above 7) tend to produce pink flowers.
- This is due to the availability of aluminum ions in acidic soil, which the plants absorb.
Growing Conditions:
- Prefers partial shade or dappled sunlight.
- Requires moist, well-drained soil.
- Benefit from protection from harsh afternoon sun.

They can be grown in the ground or in containers.
