use ericaceous compost Yorkshire it is slightly more acidy that will turn it blue..

Oh, I have that ericaceous feed I bought, can I use 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 :-)

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.
