Drying Hydrangeas

If you have addednutrients to turn them blue, then will they stay blue when they are dried?

Yes, and maybe. Hydrangeas that are blue will change color on the shrub becoming more faded as they dry. Then when you harvest the mature blooms in late summer of fall the blue will be a faded or antique shade. Once you get then indoors and out of the sun they should stay the soft blue color they were when cut them. Keep growing, Marianne Binetti
