Looks like H. arborescens 'Hayes Starburst'.

Ahh yes, thank you. That is exactly what it is. I'd forgotten the name but knew I would remember once I saw it! Writing in my book so I won't forget again.

Would anyone like to take a crack at this one? I purchased it blue, the new blooms were soft green fading to blue, but once it was put in the ground, our alkaline soil pinked it up!!

I add coffee grounds and eggshells around the drip line, but that's just for soil composition. I'd love the blue back, do I need to mix the sulfur pellets into the soil, or just scatter on top of the ground?

Any name hints would be greatly appreciated!!
