Or, in this case, Lady in Blue. Two years ago I planted a Lady in Red hydrangea under a Maple tree in the back yard. Hydrangea generally like acidic soil, so I usedHolly-Tone, an organic fertilizer produced by Espoma for acid-loving plants. In addition, the same site was previously occupied by two huge taxis, which in addition to dropping their needles, also trapped needles from a nearby white pine. As a result, the soil is somewhat more acidic than surrounding areas. The result? This Lady in Red consistently blooms blue!
