We have acidic soil in the Northwest, so voila: Blue hydrangeas. Akaline soil will create pink hydrangeas. For bluer hydrangeas, add aluminate sulfate to the soil to make it more acidic.

There are lots of blue, violet, and purple hydrangeas around here. I've heard that the acidity of the soil determines their color, and that you can change their color by adding things to their soil.
