Bigleaf Hydrangea Care & Color Guide

Are you looking to switch the color of your bigleaf hydrangea blooms this year? Bigleaf hydrangeas like Endless Summers and some lacecap varieties can change bloom colors from blue to purple to pink, depending on the pH of the soil. Need to test your soil? Visit our garden center for soil test kits, located with our gardening supplies.

Check out this quick guide on proper care and how to achieve the color you want:

For blue blooms, we recommend adding a soil acidifier.

For pink blooms, we recommend adding lime.
