Love this pastel colors of hydrangeas, however, depends on the soil you have, "Blue in acid soil; Pink in alkaline soil".
Hydrangea
Hydrangea or Hortensia is a genus of 70–75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Japan, Korea, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and the Americas. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Japan, and Korea. Most are shrubs 1 to 3 meters tall, but some are small trees.
Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) most often at the ends of the stems.
In most species the flowers are white, but in some species (notably H. macrophylla), can be blue, red, pink, light purple, or dark purple.
And this particular Hydrangea stands proud in our garden with beautiful sunset colours in the background.
Hydrangeas are popular shrubs with colorful flowers that bloom through summer and into fall. They usually bloom in shades of blue, purple, ..

Hydrangeas are what I consider to be good value plants , as once established they will flower prolifically for months . This one is just in its second year, in my garden , but doing well.

Thank you all for visiting and your kind comments, awards and faves - I appreciate them all.
When we planted this hydrangea two years ago, its flowers were a beautiful blue color. When it flowered last year, the flowers were bright pink. Regular treatments with coffee grounds turned it purple, but it came out pink again this spring. More coffee grounds have resulted in this lovely melange of purple tones. And the plant will receive regular servings of coffee grounds all year to encourage more blue tones.
Happy Sunday. Take care, stay safe, and remain optimistic. Thanks for stopping by and for all of your support -- I deeply appreciate it.
