    In my garden, are they lacking some nutrients to make them blue?

    I bought a white miniature Rose bush and 2 weeks later it was pink . I complained to the vendor in the flower shop and he said add bicarbonate of soda to the water to keep them white.
    I don't know what you need to keep them blue but a florist should be able to help
    It all has to do with the acidity in the soil especially with Hydrangeas too

    there are pink and blue, bluebells growing side by side on my local park....growing in the same soil. so maybe the are a slightly different variant??? maybe catherine knows the reason?? they are still pretty though are'nt they

    I've got pink, Blue and White in my garden, and they are intermingled. I'd say it's a genetic change.
