Mine have pink blooms also but when I amend my soil with aluminum sulfate then they start to turn blue, they sometimes have blue, pink and some purple blooms all on the same plant. Very cool isn't it?

Bloomstruck, maybe? It is part of the Endless Summer Series.

Yes very cool and beautiful !! mine already planted for 4 years . Don't think I can mix anything with my soil anymore ? Anything I can just mix with water ??

I have bloomstruck, not this colour tho

I have Forever and Ever that has 3 colors on it. Just lovely.

Yes, get some aluminum sulfate from the garden center, mix 1-2 Tbsp. to a gallon of water, pour around the roots. Start it this summer and repeat about once a month till winter, then start again in late winter. I have some of mine mostly blue now, others are a variety of pink thru blue.

Luis, I had a Bloomstruck at one time, OMG, it was just gorgeous! Sadly, it finally bit the dust. :(

Could be a LA Dreamin

Looks like Mathilda Gutges. I bought one of these early spring this year to lose it. It had blue, pink and in the middle blossoms

MG&LAD ...are supposed to be the same ... just.saying

Girlnamedgale, well, if you liked Bloomstruck and you see it on sale and you have space and there is space for it in the budget, get a new one! But if someone in the household complains, just say "Lydia made you do it with her gorgeous hydrangea pictures". Hee, hee, hee! Just kidding, Lydia (see how Bloomstruck sales increase in June now). Oh me. And I am going to a nursery tomorrow where they may have Bloomstruck too!!!

According to description the biggest difference between LA Dreaming and MG is that the first will bloom on old and new growth, but the second only on old.

Luis, You are such an enabler... LOL

U don't need to do anything with the soil springwood?

Luis and girlnamedgal - here is my bloomstruck pic taken just now

If your soil is extremely acidic or alkaline, you may just get blooms of a single color. Otherwise, it may depend on the variety and the soil minerals. I would try planting and see what happens. If the blooms are all of a uniform color, I would amend the soil in selected areas only to see what happens then with the next set of blooms.

Lydia, Luis is not the only enabler on this board, LOL. That is just gorgeous! If I happen to run across one at 50% off I will tell my DH to blame Luis and Lydia.

Lolll

Lydia..what fun to get so many colors on ONE plant..mine's in a pot so uniform soil and my blooms are all pink..still love it

I have this pink for years so I was just thinking it would be interesting to see different colours next year :))

my soil is alkaline..I would need to treat my hydrangeas to get purple or blue..up til now I was working hard just to get blooms!..but now that I figured that out maybe I'll work on the colors..

Look at this colours !!! Love it !!!

gorgeous!!

I haven't added anything specific to the soils around my home personally. Maybe some coffee grounds from time to time.

I have Nikkoes and David Ramsey's that are totally blue or light blue, and others with mixed colors. Some with shades of purple.

There have been lots of posts about how much Al Sulfate to add or whatever.

My mom has some ES around her place and has been adding Al Sulfate in small increments for several years and the blooms are still pink. Guess they need more!

In my area it's BLUE BLUE BLUE

Try adding some lime prior to leaf out time to see if the shrub gets some pinks or purples. Maybe add it at random places too to see if it helps mix the various colors throughout all the blooms. I would be tempted to try adding only at 12pm, 4pm and 8pm. I do not know. Whatever makes it display those nice color mixes.

I have one pink lacecap that I add aluminum sulfate everywhere in order to go from pink to blue but so far, I can only get it to "go" to purple-ish. I had to add more a/s than recommended by the label because, as springwood commented, it was not enough, ie, it was not changing the pink as much as I wanted/needed. But I may be proceeding too carefully though (trying not to burn the roots). ;o)

Nice picture, Lydia. The rose reminds of a Lady Hillingdon that I have in the back of the house although I would prefer the Lady Banks Yellow Rose if LBY wasn't a once a year bloomer and if LBY did not grow into such a monster.
