Nikko Blue can produce beautiful blooms with shades ranging from a true, cornflower blue, to lavender to pink. The color of the blooms has everything to do with the soil's pH. The more acidic your soil is, the more you'll see those true blue colored bloom clusters. 

In pH below 6 you can expect the blooms to be blue. In pH 6 and above you'll see the warmer bloom hues. You can also add a soil component called Vitax Hydrangea Colorant, which is simply an aluminum additive that will help the blooms turn more of a blue color.

In the morning Nikko Blue would enjoy full sun, in the afternoon make sure she's in a shady location with dappled sun. This variety of Hydrangea matures in at about 4-6' tall, with the same spread.

We sell Nikko Blue in three gallon containers. Our soil is slightly alkaline, so we are seeing a glowy lavender bloom.
