Hydrangea Macrophylla ‘Pink’

Grown as an individual specimen in a pot or border, or planted as a lovely big swathe along a valley floor…whatever you choose for your Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Pink’, it will be sure to make a big impact. Lime green emergent flower buds quickly age from slightly pink to really pink and are a perfect match for the bright green, slightly toothed foliage.
Hydrangeas give their best pink flowers when grown in soil with a neutral to alkaline pH. Therefore, if you want to make sure that your hydrangeas flowers stay pink (and don’t turn mauve or blue), you will need to make sure that the soils pH does not slip below 6. The easiest way to do this (if necessary) is to apply an annual sprinkling of lime.
