How can I change the color of a hydrangea plant?
You can change the color of a hydrangea plant by adjusting the pH level of the soil. Adding aluminum sulfate to the soil will make the flowers turn blue, while adding lime will make them pink.

Do pennies placed in the soil next to hydrangea plants effect the color?
Not that I've heard. Many hydrangea strains will have different flower colors, depending on the aluminum content of the soil. When there is available aluminum, the flowers will be blue. When there is no available aluminum, they'll be pink. This doesn't work for white hydrangeas. You can add aluminum sulfate, which is available at most garden centers, to turn pink flowers blue. In order to turn blue flowers pink, raise the soil pH by adding a liming material, and the aluminum will form insoluble compounds and no longer be available to the plants.
What color would a hydrangea flower be if you planted it in neutral soil?
A hydrangea flower planted in neutral soil usually has a pink or purple color. The pH level of the soil determines the flower color, with acidic soil producing blue flowers and alkaline soil yielding pink flowers. Neutral soil usually results in a mix or shade of pink and purple hues in the hydrangea flowers.
How can I get blue hydrangea flowers to bloom in my garden?
To get blue hydrangea flowers to bloom in your garden, you can adjust the soil pH to be more acidic by adding aluminum sulfate or sulfur. This will help the plant absorb aluminum, which is necessary for blue flower color. Additionally, make sure the plant receives enough sunlight, water, and nutrients for healthy growth and blooming.
If your hydrangea flowers were pink in color what could you add to make the flower blue?
Go to the following web site. I think it will contain all the information you are looking for. http:/www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/colorchange.html
In the pea plants the presence of an allele for purple flowers will mask presence of an allele for white flowers. What does that mean?
Gene responsible for purple color is dominant over white color.
What is more important to a women the smell of the smell of the flowers the color of the flowers or the number of flowers?
It depends on where the flowers are being delivered to. If at work, then it is the amount and the type (to show off to the coworkers). If it is at home, then it's the color and the smell.
What interesting effect do different pH levels have on hydrangea blossom?
Different pH levels can affect the color of hydrangea blossoms. Acidic soil (pH below 6) tends to produce blue flowers, while alkaline soil (pH above 6) leads to pink or even red blossoms. Adjusting the soil pH can alter the bloom color of hydrangeas.
Why do hydrangeas change color?
Hydrangeas change color based on the pH level of the soil. Acidic soil produces blue flowers, while alkaline soil produces pink flowers. Changing the pH level of the soil can shift the color of the hydrangea blooms.
What does The presence of an allele for purple flowers will mask the presence of an allele for white flowers mean?
Gene responsible for purple color is dominant over white color.
When the soil pH is above 7.0 certain plants produce blue flowers. When the soil pH is below 7.0 however pink flowers are produced. What explains the color change?
The acid in the soil, this is only true with some flowers.-Purplicous: check out my bio page!!! Flower color change dependent on soil pH is true for only certain flowers. Hydrangea macrophylla is the most common plant that responds to soil pH by altering flower color. The color is dependent on the amount of available aluminum in the soil - more acidic soils (lower pH) allow the aluminum to be more accessible; more alkaline soils (higher pH) tie up the aluminum and it becomes less available. And the coloring is the reverse of that stated in the question! Lower pH generates BLUE flowers -- higher pH generates PINK flowers. Aluminum sulfate, aka "hydrangea bluing", is often used to acidify the soil and increase the aluminum availability to maintain blue hydrangea flowers. The effect is not immediate and be careful not to overapply - aluminum in excess can be toxic to many plants.
