Nikko Blue hydrangea is immediately recognizable by its vivid deep blue round flower heads that bloom in late spring and continue to blossom until the fall. The flowers stand out above and peak out from under a dense rounded canopy of foliage of large oval shaped leaves.
Maintenance:
Depending on soil types the deep blue flowers may be lighter in color and occasionally even pink. If you are looking for the deeper shades of blue be sure the soil is acidic. A good rule of thumb to remember is: the more alkaline the soil the lighter the color of the flowers.
Nikko Blue hydrangeas prefer fertile well-drained soils. They should be watered regularly in dry seasons and drought. They are best planted in full sun except in very hot summer environments.
Nikko Blue hydrangea should only be pruned immediately after flowering because it blooms on large buds from the previous season. Late pruning will remove many of these buds and result in a poor showing the following season.

the ones i ordered had pink blooms. apparently it's because of the acidity of the soil.
