The severe drought in the Northeast Corner of Connecticut is affecting everything from the grass—almost totally dead now, and the beautiful hydrangea bushes along one of our fences. They began dying almost as soon as they bloomed.
When I bought this plant, it was pink....then, after a couple years, it's turned to be blue or purple. It depends on your soil.
""Hydrangeas and pH
In acidic soil (below a pH of 6), their flowers will be blue. In alkaline soil (with a pH above 7), their flowers will be pink, or even red. In neutral to slightly acid soil, these hydrangeas can have purple blooms, or even a mixture of pink and blue blooms on the same plant.""
Hydrangea macrophylla Deep Purple Dance = 'Schrolla02' (PBR) (Music Collection) (H)..Hydrangea can be deciduous or evergreen shrubs, or self-clinging climbers, with flowers in clusters usually comprising both small fertile and more showy sterile flowers; often good autumn colour.
On certain plants, I actually like the leaves as much or more than the flowers. The newer varieties of Hydrangea are one such plant.
The old world Snowball Hydrangea have large and somewhat dull leaves, whereas some of the newer varieties have sturdy, waxy, and deep green leaves which I find so beautiful. And those sawtooth edges are so precise and perfect!
When Darkness falls on Earth
New Stars have been given Birth
Their Stardust keeps falling on my head
Or is it just Sawdust from the Shed ???
No, cause my Petals glitter in the Moonlight
Don’t you know, I am the Beauty of the Night ???

This Hydrangea is growing in my garden. The heat burns off the flowers not long after they bloom, but it is a lovely pastel blue and sometimes has a cream centre on the flowers. Not a lot is growing in the garden at the moment - I really need to buy some new plants, but due to Covid running riot at the moment, I am a bit nervous to venture out. I have a voucher that I received at Christmas for a local nursery to spend as well.
Muchas gracias por tu visita, comentarios y mucho más si la tomas como favorita.
Thank you very much for your comment and thanks for your visit
I find spent hydrangea blossoms so fascinating. They are unique in that they don't crumble after they die.
