Hi Tui, I’ve just planted white hydrangeas and some of the leaves are turning purple. I'm wondering what the problem is and what I can do? Thank you so much.

Hi Helen 

The only way to know what nutrients are missing is to do a soil test, there are simple soil test kits available from garden centres or DIY stores. While purple leaves could be a sign of a nutrient deficiency, it is also possible that the soil temperature needs to warm up, as temperatures warm up the purple will go away. We suggest you use a balanced fertiliser for your hydrangea such as Tui NovaTec Premium or Tui General Fertiliser. 

Thanks, Tui Team
