My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Hydrangeas w/ Stable Colors

11 years ago

I want to put together a grouping of hydrangeas, including some H. macrophylla types. The soil pH of the area is about 6.9. I want to avoid those "in-between" colors where it's blah purple-ish. Actually I would be happy with stable pinks/reds. Any suggestions for interesting varieties I could try that are not responsive to pH levels, or which are somehow stable in the pink-red colors? Would 'Lady in Red' stay red in this soil? Please send me ideas for more interesting (but available in nurseries) hydrangeas. THANKS.
