Yes, there is no blue hydrangea, only pink ones turn to blue because of the soil acidity.![🤔](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t34/1/16/1f914.png)

Hydrangeas change color (except for the white ones) based on the pH level of their soil.
The more alkaline the soil, the pinker the flowers.
To make pink hydrangeas turn blue (or to keep your blue ones from turning pink), increase the acidity of soil.![⚗️](https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/t8b/1/16/2697.png)
