Hydrangea Bush Blue
Blue bush hydrangeas, typically of the Hydrangea macrophylla (Bigleaf) species, are prized for their large globe-like "mophead" or flat "lacecap" blooms. Their vibrant blue color is not fixed but is a result of acidic soil (pH 5.0–5.5) which allows the plant to absorb aluminum. These stunning shrubs thrive in partial shade and prefer consistently moist, well-draining soil. They're ideal for borders, hedges, and container gardens, offering season-long color from summer through fall. With proper care and soil management, your blue hydrangeas will reward you with abundant, long-lasting blooms year after year.
