Hydrangeas prefer cooler, shaded conditions. In Kerala, grow them in partial shade, water consistently, and avoid harsh afternoon sun. They perform well in hill stations and shaded garden spots.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eWhy is my Hydrangea not purple?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eHydrangea flower colour is influenced by soil pH. Acidic soil (pH 5.0–6.0) produces purple\/blue tones. If your soil is alkaline, add aluminium sulphate or use an acidic potting mix to restore purple colour.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003cdt\u003eCan I grow Purple Hydrangea in a pot?\u003c\/dt\u003e\n\u003cdd\u003eYes — use a 12–16 inch pot with good drainage and humus-rich potting mix.
