White Hydrangeas turning green

My Annabelle hydrangeas are in a north facing bed with a little sun in the afternoon.  They are now all green. Is there something I can do to keep them white longer?

    Nope. It's what they do. Most of the whites have a hint of another colour, and they also change as they become autumnal
    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

    Agree. Our white one starts to turn pink as the season moves towards autumn but the following year it will flower white again.

    Hence another name; Changeable, which is what my Grandma always called them.

    The pink tinting is common in white varieties, as it's just the dormancy colouring appearing. Some have more than others too.
