He called it a Kyushu Hydrangea.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-38662570751446039862009-08-09T19:30:33.900-07:002009-08-09T19:30:33.900-07:00Hi NS :), It certainly would be fun to change colo...Hi NS :), It certainly would be fun to change colour of plants more or less at will. I'm interested to see what happens with this hydrangea, but a tinge of pink would just be a nice bonus, since it's beautiful the way it is.<br /><br />As to H macrophylla, I'm a big fan of Endless Summer, in it's blue form but not the pink. I was concerned that it would be too much work to keep it blue given our soil alkalinity. <br /><br />I'm from Eastern Canada, where fall colours are a much wider palette than out West, even when the same trees are grown. I've always suspected that it had to do with soil composition & environmental conditions.Rebecca @ In The Gardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17513002032328432666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8671006236976973866.post-51220771012245710832009-08-09T13:23:20.470-07:002009-08-09T13:23:20.470-07:00Your Kyushu has a nice white colour, and a very la...Your Kyushu has a nice white colour, and a very lacey look. I love watching to see how a plant performs and changes when it's new in my garden. <br /><br />I think it's just the H. macrophylla types that react to pH with the changing bloom colour. It would be fun if you could change the bloom colour of more plants by experimenting with the soil.Northern Shadehttp://northernshade.ca/noreply@blogger.com
