    bought a beauty last year - a wonderful blue

    all the others in the area almost without excpetion are a red/ pink

    it has weathered the winter well in its pot and now showing signs of leaf and bud

    what is required to maintain the blue color ????
    the old iron filing / tea bags tricks ....
