How can I get more color in my hydrangeas? I know it has something to do with the ph factor of the soil, but I'm not sure.
Thanks....

Acidic soil gets you blue and alkaline gets you pink.

That's not true of all hydrangeas. And technically, you are not getting more color when it is true. You are just shifting the color from pink to blue.
