So how do you explain this one? We added nothing, but our soil is pretty acidic. It was a gift of a friend and the tag said it was Glory Blue " but that may be another name for Nikko Blue. I am kind of happy with it's many colors. Patti

Hydrangea Glory Blue
Quoting:From "Hydrangeas for American Gardens" by Michael A. Dirr: " common in southeastern nursery trade; probably a rename, no clear origin; 4' tall; lustrous dark leaves." Large inflorescences, pink in alkaline, rich blue in acid soil"
