Lime for blue. Magnesium sulfate for pink. One is basic and one is acidic. Take your choice.

With garden varieties, it's usually the acidity of the soil that dictates the colour. In acid soils, with a pH below 5.5, hydrangeas produce blue flowers, in alkaline soils, above pH7 they will be pink. In between you get some interesting (well, I think so) variations.

If your hydrangia variety is "peegee" there is nothing you can do.
Use lime (acid)to turn the white ones blue; if you want pink you will need to make the soil a neutral ph.

Add acidity to the soil to get a bluer color. Most garden centers should have an additive.

Just take LSD. It'll change the colour of your hydrangea, as well as everything else in the room.
