Vitax Hyrangea Colourant 250g
If you are looking to change your pink hydrangeas blue, then Hydrangea Colourant is ideal.
Hydrangeas that grow where iron or aluminium salts are present tend to change colour and produce blue flowers. Depending on the variety, pale pink hydrangeas will turn blue best with darker pink varieties turning to mauve or blue.
Best results are obtained with plants growing in acid soil, but if your soil is alkaline the proportions should be doubled.
• Used for both pot grown hydrangeas and those grown outdoors
• Readily dissolved in a little hot water
• Mixed with soil for best results
For both potted hydrangeas and those grown outside, simply mix Hydrangea Colourant with the soil in which the root system will develop.
After establishment, dilute the Hydrangea Colourant as directed and water weekly during growth.
Always keep out of reach of children and wear protective gloves and eye protection where possible during use.
Hydrangeas growing in the presence of iron or aluminium salts will tend to change colour and produce blue flowers. Varieties naturally pale pink tend to blue best, the darker pink varieties turning to mauve/ blue. Best results are obtained with plants growing in acid soil. If the soil is alkaline the following proportions should be doubled.
Pot or container grown hydrangeas
Mix Hydrangea Colourant with the soil when potting in the proportion of one part to thirty parts of potting soil e.g. 250g in 7.5 litres. During growth water weekly with 30g Colourant per 5 litres of water. Hydrangea Colourant is most readily dissolved first in a little hot water.
Outdoor grown hydrangeas
On planting, mix Hydrangea Colourant with soil in which the root system will develop, in the proportion of one part Colourant to thirty parts soil e.g. 250g in 7.5 litres. Subsequently, water weekly during the growing season at a rate of 30g per 5 litres of water. Apply to the area of soil covered by the bush itself, thoroughly wetting the soil surface. The colour of other plants can be intensified by treating with Hydrangea Colourant in the same manner.

For orders under 2kg will usually be delivered by Royal Mail. Unless they are items like weedkillers and pesticides that will be delivered by DHL*
For orders between 2.1kg and 100kg will be delivered by either Parcelforce or DHL*
For orders over 100kg will be delivered by Pallet Force Network*
*The time it takes to deliver your goods will be down to the delivery partners ability to reach your post code area and them actually being able to deliver the order but if you have not received your goods within 10 days of ordering, please make contact with us immediately in order for us to investigate the problem.
Are There Any Areas That You Cannot Deliver To?
Due to the weight of some of our products, if purchased in large quantities, it would make it financially unviable to deliver to certain Post Code areas. As a matter of course we do not delivery outside of the United Kingdom.
