First off, let me apologize for asking a lot of questions and not posting tips. Its because I am, and always will be, a dummy when it comes to gardening. Although I have been at it for a few years now I feel I have no expertise to advise others and potentially give bad ideas. So on with another question. I bought a hydrangea last month, a brilliant deep blue, and planted it in a place with sun, but with shade from the worst afternoon sun. I used compost, Miracle grow In Ground Garden Soil, (which of course has nutrients), and potting mix with 10-10-10 in it. I keep it watered although not before or after rainy days. Problem is, all of a sudden it lost all its color. We have clay in our soil here and I know the plants like acidic soil. But one new flower came in deep blue like they all originally were. What the heck happened ??? The plant itself looks very healthy cept for the color. So I just added a cup of vinegar with a gallon of water and applied it to the soil around the plant. Did I do the right thing, and as the plant ages and grows deeper will it return to its original color. I love all my plants but gardening is like science, and it confuses me. It breaks my heart to see one of my babies sick
Would appreciate any advice TYVM
