Applications and Timing for Coloring Hydrangeas 

Researcher: Heather Stoven

A past study at NWREC looked at aluminum sources and timing for the bluing of hydrangea sepals.  Al2SO4 drenches or Al-chelate foliar sprays were applied to containerized hydrangeas in the summer, fall and spring.  Evaluations were made based on plant growth and sepal color.
