Will my hydrangea flower

My hydrangea has developed purple leaves and wondered if it will flower this year? What is the cause as my other hydrangeas are growing normally with new green leaves. They are all grown in large pots and not in the ground. I wouldn't like to lose it!!!

    I've had this happen in the past - I'm with Verdun - think it may be low temps - but a feed will be good anyway.  It's never seemed to cause a problem image

    I have fed it with Miracle grow a general purpose feed. Should I feed it with something else? I initially thought it may be frost damaged, my other hydrangeas seem to be fine and healthy. Can't see any obvious signs of fungal disease. Many thanks for your advice.

    Agree with Dove, have had this a few times and it never seems to cause a problem.
