Hydrangea color is determined by the pH of the soil.

I can't remember either, Wendy, but you can also add a rusted chunk off

Hi Bob, I would think chlorine bleach would kill a plant?
Now I have read about some kind of crystals (name escapes me), that

this solution to water the plants. Any thoughts?
