Changing your hydrangea flower color is one of the last things you can do this fall. A couple of weeks ago when I discussed TRANSPLANTING HYDRANGEAS IN THE FALL, I promised I would be back soon to talk about changing your hydrangea flower color. If you are in the northern hemisphere, this is a chore that should be on your “to do” list if you want a different flower color for your hydrangeas. Now is the time to act!
But before we get to that, I wanted to let you know that my most recent hydrangea book, HYDRANGEA PRUNING: WHAT STAYS, WHAT GOES, AND WHEN, has received 2 awards (so far).

It was a finalist in the 2026 Reader’s Favorite International Book Awards (non-fiction/home and crafts).
It was also awarded the Bronze Medal from the International Global Book Awards (Education and Reference).

UPCOMING PUBLIC DATES
Although the season is winding down, I still have some public commitments in the 4th quarter.
Lorraine signing books
I’ll be signing (and selling) both my hydrangea books in the next two weeks on:
- October 3 at 1.30 p.m. at Shakespeare’s Garden in Brookfield, CT
- October 10 at 1.30 p.m. at Natureworks Garden Center in Northford, CT.
Both of these are superb independent garden centers. You’re sure to find something to add to your fall décor as well as plants in excellent condition for fall planting—the best time for that.
Stop by and bring your friends to either or both of these events. I would love to meet you. Signed copies of my books make great holiday gifts.

Now for the info on changing the color of your hydrangea flowers. I decided to do a video for this post. Hope you enjoy it and find it helpful. Here is the link: https://canva.link/w03spl9a45pocng
If you have a moment, I’d love to know what you think about this video. Specifically, if you prefer videos to a written blog post. Just use the “Contact Lorraine Ballato” tab on my site menu to share your opinion.
Thanks for reading/watching.
