Did you know that … the color of flowers depends on the substrate?
The most popular and loved are blue-flowering hydrangeas. However, after a few years, many of them turn pink. Such a metamorphosis is caused by the soil in which hydrangeas grow.

In order for our hydrangeas to maintain the blue color of the flowers, we plant them in acidic peat soil for rhododendrons and feed them with a special hydrangea fertilizer.
