    The document discusses soil pH levels and the colors of hydrangea flowers they produce. It states that dark blue hydrangeas were found in soil with a pH of 4.5, while bright pink flowers were found in soil with a pH of 7.5. For soil with a pH of 6.2, aluminum would need to be added to lower the pH to between 4.5-5.5 for intense blue flowers. For soil at pH 4.4, lime would need to be added to raise the pH to 7.0-7.5 to produce intense pink flowers. Soil at pH 6.0 would likely produce purple hydrangeas between the blue and pink pH ranges.

    What flower color matched the lowest soil pH value you collected in which a flower was produced?

    What was the soils pH? The color of the flower was a dark blue, and the pH was 4.5 What flower color matched the highest soil pH value you collected in which a flower was produced? What was the soils pH? It was a bright pink, at a pH of 7.5 Suppose you wanted to grow Hydrangeas with an intense blue color. Your soil has a pH value of 6.2. What needs to be added to the soil in order to produce the desired flower color? I would have to add aluminum in order to decrease the pH. Blue is produced between a pH of 4.5-5.5. Suppose you wanted to grow Hydrangeas with an intense pink color. Your soil has a pH value of 4.4. What needs to be added to the soil in order to produce the desired flower color? I would have to add lime to the soil. Bright pink is produced between 7.0-7.5 pH. Suppose you are given soil to grow Hydrangeas in. You take a sample of the soil and determine that its pH is 6.0 What hydrangea flower color would you expect for plants grown in this soil? Why? I would expect purple flowers, slightly more blue than pink. They are in between the pH ranges of blue and pink.
