The Bigleaf Hydrangea is known for its ability to change color based on the soil’s pH level. When grown in untreated soil, it displays beautiful hues. However, when treated with aluminum sulfate, it transforms into an array of deep, moody purples that are simply irresistible. This unique characteristic makes it a favorite among gardeners who love to experiment and create personalized floral displays. These are shipped in 4″ pots and may be dormant during the winter months.
