You can find many blue hydrangeas that tolerate colder (below freezing) weather - just do a quick google search! And fyi, temperature has nothing to do with the color of the blooms. Color is determined by the acidity level of the soil - acidic soil (ph > 6) gives you blue or lavender-blue bloom; alkaline soil (pH +7) yields pinks and reds; with pH between 6 and 7 the blooms turn purple or bluish-pink. People play with the acidity of their soil by adding different things (coffee, egg shells, etc) to get the color they want.

See I live in a sometimes below -30 climate and the blue strain is meant for muuuuuch warmer than that! I may have misrepresented what I meant about temperature and colour, I was talking about the strains that tolerate zone 3 having certain colours. Regardless, the important thing is that i have a blue one to cherish!

@@catladykelsy I understand now. Good luck with your hydrangea. They are among my favorite plants - also peonies and roses. I’m in zone 5 so my options are much wider!

Perhaps try violet on the roots, and indigo on the purple part?

I doubt we live close to each other but I would love to be able to do some cool shit with your hair! Also hydrangeas can grow indoors but you have to have a big pot and humidity and heat lamps/ full spectrum bulbs- I normally have a whole set up for my potted plants in the winter

I'll probably put it outside this summer once I'm sure it has recovered enough, then bring it back in once winter starts getting bitter. I've got grow lights for my indoor garden but it is DRY here so here's hoping it will survive!

Girl I totally feel you on the sent free. Idk why my hair dye needs to smell like something if I'm just going to end up washing it out in the shower & then chilling at home? 😂 If I wanna smell good I'll put some cologne or deodorant on, not hair dye lol.

ONE MORE comment 😂 maybe…. Coffee grounds in your hydrangeas will help with the more blue color! Just mix used coffee grounds in with some good potting soil 💜

Dude I recently had a vacation where I didn't go anywhere and literally went over two weeks without leaving my house except for booze and cigarettes. Content with Phil, books, and video games!

@@catladykelsy 🤣😭 that sounds like the most perfect vacation ever! And yes I watched your videos from that time and that is pretty much my entire life minus the booze 🤣 I am allergic to alcohol and I’ve been in recovery for 10 years so it might be the most deadly lifesaver ever 🤷🏼♀️ I still have like 4 or so psychedelic moments a year and if I were able I would partake in the inhalation of Mary Jane but I live in the one state in America that is stuck in the 1060s and still thinks there’s a war on drugs 🙄🤦🏼♀️😅
