For the last several years I have had hydrangeas in the front flowerbed. They have been different shades of color but, they have always been blue.
I had seen purple hydrangeas in pictures and wanted one but, I could never find purple ones in my area.
This year I started a new flowerbed. I ordered a purple hydrangea online. Oh, my! I was thrilled when I saw it beginning to bloom. After all the years of wanting a purple hydrangea I finally have one. What a blessing.
Thank you CA and AR. And thank you, to those that had anything to do with getting this beautiful purple hydrangea to me.
Thank you to all of you that visit my blog, have a blessed day!

I am so sorry you can’t make them flower. They like acidic soil is one thing I learned.

Someone gave my grandma a hydrangea for Mother’s Day one year and none of us knew what it was so we called it the “Mother’s Day Plant” for years. It didn’t survive our oklahoma summers.

We have hot summers here, but I think the humidity is what helps them survive. I have to water them a lot though when we have real hot, dry summers. I am sorry they won’t grow for you there.

They probably would grow if someone had an optimal yard. Our mother’s day plant was given no shade and probably not enough water.

They don’t like a lot of sun.. I always have had mine on the north and east side of the house. T
hey do great on the east side, they get the morning sun and afternoon shade.

That’s lovely, Mags. I have had hydrangeas in the past but they have always been white. That will add some gorgeous color to your flower bed :)
