Did you know that the color of hydrangeas is determined by the soil’s pH level? 🧪🌸 💙 Blue blooms = acidic soil (around pH 5.5 or lower) 💜 Purple blooms = neutral soil (around pH 6.5 to 7) 🩷 Pink blooms = alkaline soil (pH 7 or higher) This natural pH sensitivity makes hydrangeas one of the best indicators of soil chemistry. Just another reason to love the science behind flowers! 🌿✨ #FloraVivere #FlowerPreservation #FlowerPreservationPH #pressedpreservation #flowerpress #flowerpressing

The best hydrangeas for the Midwest climate and soil are as follows: -Oakleaf Hydrangeas - Smooth Leaf Hydrangeas (native Aborescens, Annabelle, Incrediball, etc) - Panicle Type Hydrangeas -Climbing Hydrangeas can be temperamental and they want to be 40’ tall and wide and get quite heavy. I don’t recommend big leaf or mountain hydrangeas in the Midwest as they bloom on old wood and the buds don’t survive the winters and our soil is not acidic enough to give us the beautiful blue colors.
