Hydrangeas
Information
A place to connect with other hydrangea aficionados. It is a bit of a challenge to grow hydrangeas in zone 6b but in those lucky, mild winter years I am rewarded with stunning displays. Forums below contain useful info for easy reference.

I'm new to this group. My hydrangeas include: several Annabelles, a forever pink (I think), a huge climbing Hydrangea, one unknown variety and new this year "Bombshell".

Contributing Gardener Comment by Willis L. Johnson from GA Z8A on May 4, 2012 at 8:11am -
Cathy, and big box store that has garden supplies should have it, plus any decent sized garden center. Lyn, here's one of my several online pictures here of brunette http://www.garden-share.com/photo/hydrangea-macrophylla-brunette you can go to my pictures, put in brunette as the search argument and see the others. I doubt sunlight has anything to do with your Hydrangea color - unless it's just washed out from too much sun. It's the soil alkalinity/acidity that causes the color difference between pink and blue flowers. Virtually all soil has aluminum in it, so it's unlikely a shortage of aluminum is the cause. It's possible, but unlikely.

Cathy, have you tried your local gardening centre, as that is where I bought mine here in Aus (or even a florist as they use Blueing agent.)
My neighbour on opposite side of street has bright blue hydrangeas, mine are pink, yet she said her cutting came from a pink hydrangea but turned blue when it grew in her front garden. I guess it is just the difference between our soils. Also the fact hers gets morning sun, mine gets afternoon sun, which can also affect the colouring.
Willis, I love the sound of your 'Brunette' hydrangea! Can you post a pic of it when it blooms?

That's what I thought but can't find it around here. Does it need to be ordered online. Thanks for your help!
