This is one plants I just can't seem to keep alive!!! I've read that Hydrangea change color according to the elements in the soil or something like that.

you can yes it may not do to much to start with though, but give it a good mulch with ericaceous compost autumn time and again spring that should do the trick or leafmould :-)
