Hydrangea macrophylla 'Kirsten'
Due to the onset of wet autumn conditions, the leaves of the Kirsten hydrangea have developed some seasonal blemishes. This is normal for wet conditions when hydrangea leaves turn off-color due to their deciduous growth habit. Some customers who have never grown hydrangeas become alarmed and report various spots and discolorations they observe on the foliage. I reassure customers that this is normal.
The shade of the Kirsten flowers vary significantly depending on your soil acidity. As the photos depict, they can range from dark pink mophead fowers to more a more medium-pink flowers. They turn purple in a more acidic soil.
