Unfortunately the bloom on the plant now will remain pink but new buds turning to blooms will be blue. Be careful to follow the packages instructions. I have 7 hydrangeas and just yesterday I put down some aluminum sulfate.

This puts the nutrients into the ground to make the flowers turn blue. You can try it and see if it makes a difference, what have you got to lose?
