Bloomstruck Hydrangea has light green-to-white blooms that mature to shades of violet-blue or rosy-red depending on the soil ph! The dark green leaves have red petioles and veins, and foliage turns to a rich burgundy-red in the fall. Blooming time is June to October.
All hydrangea naturally undergo some colour change to their flowers as they age. Adjusting the pH balance of the soil (the addition of aluminium sulphate) can change the flower colour from deep rose to violet-blue in this cultivar. Most cultivars thrive in full sun to partial shade as long as they have adequate moisture and a rich, well-drained soil. This type flowers on both old and new wood.
