Changing White Snowballs to Blue Hydreangeas


Question
I have the tall bushes of white, I believe they are called Japanese snowball, which are in the hydrangea family.  I have seen blue hydrangea bushes which looked exactly like my white ones.  Could Miracid or aluminum sulfate change my white flowers to blue?

Answer
Hi Janelle,
Thanx for your question.  A Japanese Snowball is Viburnum plicatum.  The blue hydrangea is Hydrangea macrophyllum.  These are two different plants and Miracid or aluminum sulfate cannot change a Viburnum's white flowers to blue.  I hope this helps.
Tom
