fed hydrangea by mistake

While feeding my rhododendrons with a liquid ericaceous feed I fed my hydrangea by mistake. Will it kill it ? Do I need to flush it with clean water. Help !!!

    It will have done it good image It is recommended that hydrangea have ericaceous feed.

    Thankyou. But it dont mention them on the bottle only rhododendrons azaleas heathers ect
  • It will do no harm at all. image 

    Most probably your ericaceous feed will contain iron, which will be beneficial to blue hydrangeas and in theory may turn pink ones blue....but realistically, there won't be sufficient concentrations to make any difference either way.

    Thankyou
  • I've got a hydrangea I bought last year which didn't flower. Is this unusual or does this happen sometimes?Also would it be good idea to feed it now with something, previous comments make it sound like I should. I've got some seaweed feed, is that any good?
