Why do hydrangeas turn green?

Hydrangea naturally turns green

There are some varieties of hydrangea that will naturally turn green, producing green hydrangeas, including Hydrangea grandiflora, which has bright light green flowers. Another variety is the Annabelle hydrangea, which blooms white flowers at first and then turns green.

Hydrangea turns green as it grows

Many flower lovers believe that the reason why hydrangeas turn green is probably because hydrangeas change color over time, and red and blue flowers often turn green.

The popular saying is that the color of hydrangea is related to the pH of the soil, and the color changes as the soil changes. The transformation into green flowers is most likely because the pH value of the soil has not been stable enough for a period of time. This situation is actually not very common, but there are flower lovers who have grown such hydrangeas. When they first bloom, they are green, then turn pink, and after blooming for a period of time, they turn green again. They are truly chameleons among flowers.

However, this situation generally does not last too long, and some measures can be taken to make it bloom normally.

Hydrangeas turn green as climate changes

In terms of climate, the main influences are temperature and humidity. Hydrangea prefers a more stable growing environment. If the weather is hot and humid, the flowers of hydrangea may turn green.

Hydrangea green petal disease

The main symptom of green petal disease is the discoloration of the inflorescence, and the petals turn into yellow-green. At this time, you need to pay attention to whether the flowers of the hydrangea are very small or gradually disappear. This may be because the hydrangea has green petal disease, and preventive measures need to be taken.
