Hydrangeas are great to have in gardens due to their stunning blooms and are quick to grow - but you can also help give them a boost this summer with just one item.
John Moore, a gardening expert from Pyracantha, has shared that adding coffee grounds to hydrangea soil helps keep the flower hydrated as it helps the roots absorb water.
He said: "Hydrangeas respond well to coffee grounds in the soil. Most people use coffee grounds to help change the colour of their hydrangea blooms from pink
Coffee grounds are acidic and will help hydrangeas as the soil will contain more iron, manganese
Not only will hydrangeas turn a vivid blue or soft purple colour when fed coffee, but it also works as a natural pest control
To begin, all you have to do is sprinkle used coffee grounds on top of the soil and leave them to decompose.
If you wish to keep your garden tidy, you can also dig the coffee grounds directly into the soil or add coffee grounds to your compost bin
