VITAX HYDRANGEA COLOURANT 500GM

Product Information

Hydrangeas growing in the presence of iron or aluminium salts will tend to change colour and produce blue flowers. Varieties naturally pale pink tend to blue best, the darker pink varieties turning to mauve/ blue. Best results are obtained with plants growing in acid soil. If the soil is alkaline the following proportions should be doubled. Whether you're simmering savoury stews, cooking up soul-warming soups, or preparing tender roasts, our range of slow cookers will make your autumn evenings unforgettable. Discover the perfect slow cooker to elevate your autumn culinary adventures today! Shop Slow Cookers > If you try this, you’ll need to continue adding the aluminium sulphate to the soil for as long as you want to keep the blue or purple colour.

Vitax Hydrangea Colourant 250g | Charlies

Most plants in the garden thrive in soil with a pH between 6 and 7, but if you want to turn a pink hydrangea flower into a blue one (or keep a blue one the same colour), you’ll need to make sure the soil is more acidic. Don't let the changing seasons put a damper on your barbecue plans; invest in a high-quality barbecue cover today to preserve your grill's longevity and keep those autumn flavours sizzling all season long. Shop Barbecue Covers > Hydrangeas grown where iron or aluminium salts are present have a tendency to produce blue flowers. If you have pink flowering Hydrangeas and want them to turn blue then Vitax Hydrangea Colourant can yield great results.The first step is to stop adding aluminium sulphate and mulch with regular compost rather than ericaceous compost. I just added a scoop of powder (about 50g) to the existing soil, and then every 7-14 days, I added another scoop to 5 litres of water and poured it around the base of the hydrangea. For both potted hydrangeas and those grown outside, simply mix Hydrangea Colourant with the soil in which the root system will develop. Vitax Hydrangea Colourant won’t feed your plants it will simply cause the flowers to change colour, so you might want to also use a general purpose plant food or Vitax Hydrangea Feed for the ultimate blooms. Features Best results are obtained with plants growing in acid soil, but if your soil is alkaline the proportions should be doubled.
