Message: I have the same problem as Mrs Blakeway, comment on 14th July. Just purchased a mid-blue colour & the blooms have now gone greyish,a lot of the leaves were yellow & brown however new leaf buds appearing look healthy. I also have a pink one in a pot in my back garden and have never had any issues over the last 5 years. It is located in a more shaded area. Thanks

Message: I have a hydrangea macrophylla which is in a pot at the moment, it was very blue when I bought it, but now the blooms have gone a greyish colour,it is in a semi shaded area and is watered every evening except when it has rained. I thought maybe I had overwatered it but a friend of mine who is a gardener said the leaves are in good condition so he didn't think that was the problem, how do I restore (is it possible) the blooms to their former glory? I also have another hydrangea which is planted in the ground which had purple blooms but has now changed to pink, how can I encourage the growth of this little plant, I remember my grandparents had huge hydrangeas in their gardens and I want to carry on the tradition. Kind regards Mrs L Blakeway

Message: I have a pink hydrangea bush, planted in compost, in a flower pot. It has produced wonderful blooms for the last two years, and again this year. Interestingly, two of blooms are blue and I was wondering what the explanation of this could be. Absolutely nothing has been added to the soil.
