How do I bring the purple color back to my hydrangea bush?

Over the years the color has changed to pink instead of its original color purple. I have been told that a few house hold items can be used, but I can't remember what they are. If any one can help me out on these items or even a store bought product will do just fine, I would greatly appreaciate it. Thanks!

It needs a more acidic soil. Use MiracleGro for azalea's rhododendrons, and hydrangeas.
Reply:Aluminum sulfate and it can be found at a nursery.
Reply:I've heard rusty nails or iron but I can't remember which color it was supposed to change them to.





Here's a web site that might help - http://www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com/colo...
Reply:work powdered sulpher into the soil around the shrub.
Reply:Aldridge Gardens in Alabama is known for their hydrangeas. I believe their website has a lot of info on how to care for hydrangeas. They know hydrangeas!!

Also try asking a local nursery. To find one, yp.yahoo.com is a great resource.
