i have looked into how to do it, i was just wondering if anyone had had any success themselves. sometimes you read about these things but the reality is very different from the theory and not always successful.
thank you all for your replies, am going to have a go as my three shrubs have all changed to a quite nasty dark pink instead of the lovely blue i bought them as.

I bought some Hydrangea Colourant from a Garden Centre and started using it every week in early spring on my Hydrangeas they all changed to either blue or purple or lilac...I've thrown the empty tube away so I can't tell you who it was by - but it worked on every plant this year...And as I said it was just called Hydrangea Colourant...
