If given iron rich fertilizer, the flowers will be blue. a snowball bush is a different plant.

Lots of old growth bushes in my garden that my neighbors love to "steal". They're gorgeous dried, as well!

GrandmaTanya, my grandma had these beautiful flowers all along her driveway. she also knew how to change the color of them. something to do with acidity of soil.

lisamc6966, I have a large plant in my yard and did not know that they were toxic to animals. I have several dogs and cats. I guess I am lucky that they have never "tasted" or noticed them.

Mama loved to grow flowers. Hydrangeas were in her top favorites. I grew up with beautiful and varied flowers all around our home. She considered roses too difficult to grow in our climate. We also had Liles, pansies, petunias, and many kinds of perinnials.🌝
GrandmaTanya
lisamc6966, Wow, thanks for that info because I have a dog and 3 cats and it would be horrible if they got into it.

sharonski, the color of the flowers depends on the soil it is planted in,, may have, white, blue, pinkish or mixed colors like blue and white most common.

Bulldogsmomma, I’ve had terrific luck with mine which is facing West & they don’t like getting too dry. I have another on a more shaded area & it’s doing okay but nothing like the other one. Takes them awhile to get established. Acid lovers too..I fertilize.

Pretty flowers.

sharonski, that's interesting, the pH of the soil also changes colour. In Somerset they are different in colour from Cornwall, two regions in SW England.

SHOOT! Hit the wrong button. My poor hydrangea got seriously trampled when the deck was rebuilt, but it's a survivor. I'm told some old nails or other scrap iron around the trunk will eventually turn the blooms blue.
