Default Hydrangea bloom not coloring

Yes Ann theoretically 7 is neutral. In this discussion however, if you will
read from the beginning, is in regards to the proper pH for the color of
hydrangeas. 7 is the proper pH for pink and is considered alkaline enough to
produce that color. See the link I provided on the subject.

In the hydrangea "world" a pH of 7 is enough Alkaline for pink.

No, not a nitpicker, he's correct. 7 is not alkaline at all. Look it
up.
