Nikko Blue Hydrangea

The Nikko Hydrangea ( macrophylla - Mophead ) may not get as many flowers here as the All Summer Beauty but they are big, very big and a gorgeous sky blue.
The Nikko Hydrangea blooms on last years wood here so there are naturally not as many flowers. No fall pruning for this one!
The Nikko Blue Hydrangea can also be pink as shown in the picture at left. This plant was watered with alkaline well water turning some of the flowers pink. The flowers came back blue the next year after being planted in acidic ground. It now recieves only rainwater. No additives were used, planted with evergreen trees.
