The truth is there are no true purple hydrangeas – but several hydrangeas can produce purple flowers with the right soil pH. The options listed here are big leaf hydrangea varieties that flower blue in acidic soil and pink in alkaline soil.

    Hydrangeas are the workhorses of both my gardens. They are tolerant and hardy, accepting both the cold winters of Basque Country in France and the mild, foggy San Francisco climate – oh, and the flowers are huge! While many gardeners gravitate towards conventional pinks or unusual greens and bright whites, some of my favorite types are the blue hydrangea varieties you can grow. One isn’t supposed to have a favorite, but I love blue hydrangea flowers more than any others.

In fact, the cultivar produces bigger flowers on stronger branches if pruned back in winter.

However, if you are looking specifically for native hydrangea varieties, that's OK – because there are several types of hydrangea native to North America. If you love this versatile and showy shrub, but want to stick with native species for your garden, you’re in luck.
