Nikko Blue Hydrangea
Nikko Blue Hydrangea
Produces Puffy Blooms as Big as Volleyballs

  (2 customer reviews)



Huge, 9-in. flowers in stunning, all-out bloom throughout summer. Full and fluffy, they load the foliage—a glorious display of color. Branches bow under the sheer weight of the blossoms. Adaptable size for landscaping— grows 3-5 ft. tall. Best planted in full to partial sun.
(NOTE: If Nikko flowers do not look truly blue, add aluminum sulfate to your soil—alkaline conditions turn Nikko pink.)
Potted Plant.
Zones 5-9.

pH Dependent Blooms
Reviewed By: Ryon Berry (Brookings, SD)
Nikko Blue is one of the better hydrangeas I have found to use in landscapes. Its name is somewhat deceiving though because in soils with a pH higher than 6.5 the blooms are pink instead of blue.

Nikko Blues
Reviewed By: Loretta (Mt. Rainier, MD)
This plant must be a true Nikko Blue... I have never had a Nikko Blue turn pink. First bud are green. As flowers get bigger they turn blue and finally a maroon/mauve color when they die. (Great for dry arrangements)
