Will the acid in a lime kill hydrangeas?

I am getting married soon and am thinking of placing sliced limes in the vase. Will the acidity of the limes kill my flowers - hydrangeas?

No, people actually add lime to make the colors more brilliant. sprinkle about a cup about 3 inches out and water . In some cases it will change the color. It is not permanent. So no worries. I have seen light blue turn a deep blue and seen some turn pink.



There are lots of places on the net that can give you ideas.



I got to nationalarbor.org for trees. HGTV.com has a gardening link.. good luck
Reply:No, but it may change the color of the flower - only slightly if it's already cut. Acid helps turn them pink, but if it's only for a one day event, you should be fine.
