- Less acidic soil (pH 5.5 to 7) will produce pale, purplish flowers.
- Alkaline soil (pH 7 to 8.5) will turn flowers pink.
Ingredient: Aluminium (Al) as aluminium sulphate 2.5% w / v
How to Use:
Directions for Use:
Rate – Mix 20ml in 5L of water
Frequency – Every 3 to 4 weeks
Timing – Apply any time of the year or after winter pruning to adjust and maintain flower colour
Area – 5L / 5m2: Apply to moist soil around plant
For optimum results apply as part of a soil treatment program with Yates Soil Acidifier. This will help with reducing soil pH, while also supplying the aluminium necessary for blue flowers. Check the soil pH before and during treatment (at least every 3 months): the optimum soil pH to ensure blue flowers is 4.5-5.5. Do not reduce soil pH below this range as this could lead to plant damage. It is best to apply many smaller treatments rather than a single large treatment.
