The blue is vivid with aluminum sulfate sprinkled around it.  - Monday, June 21, 2010 Does not bloom in Zone 5 Reviewed By: Greg (Milwaukee, WI) This plant will not bloom in Zone 5. I bought this plant for the blue blooms. My plant was covered in mulch and burlap over the winter. It dies back to the ground and the new growth does not flower. I now have a nice big green plant that will never flower. This is not for zone 5. It acts like my butterfly bushes, dying to the ground every year, except it never flowers like they do.  - Friday, March 28, 2008 pH Dependent Blooms Reviewed By: Ryon Berry (Brookings, SD) Nikko Blue is one of the better hydrangeas I have found to use in landscapes. Its name is somewhat deceiving though because in soils with a pH higher than 6.5 the blooms are pink instead of blue. Read More Reviews
