Fun Fact
Hydrangea flower colour can be altered by adjusting soil pH—acidic soil (pH 5.5 or lower) produces blue flowers, whilst alkaline soil (pH 6.5 or higher) results in pink flowers. This characteristic allows garden centres to offer customers guidance on colour manipulation, adding value to the sales conversation.
