A year ago two great friends brought a beautiful potted plant with one huge blue, almost purple, blossom. It usually is futile to try and plant them outside with our winters but I always have to try. This time it took, gloriously. I did use an acid fertilizer to make the blossoms blue but either too late or all the rain has washed the acid part away cause the blossoms seem to be all pink. Pink or blue it is growing so very well and so pretty.

Beautiful! I always hate "throwing away" plants after they have finished blooming. It seems so wrong somehow! Glad you got this one to bloom outside - whatever the color!
Thanks Lisa, now I need to figure out the acid part so I can maybe change the color next year.
I adore hydrangeas and have one that needs to at least get its shot in the ground, even if it won't make it in our Michigan winter. Lovely.
Jeanie, Do give it a chance. Mine is on the east side of the house and doesn't get full sun. It has 1/2 doz nice blooms though.
