What color are hydrangeas in October?
Question:I'm getting married in October and I want Hydrangeas as the centerpieces, but I only like them when they are that cream color with a hint of lime to them.

Brown! Hydrangeas bloom just about this time of year and it'll be all brown and dry by October. You can dry them nicely, but it won't be the color you want as you stated. Sorry... My hydrangeas are getting nice colors right now. Some of them are the color you like. Perhaps, you might need to look for something else. Congratulations on your wedding, by the way!
it depends on where you live, usually they just fade in color. if pink , they'll be a pale pink.
Hydrangeas get their color according to the soil they are grown in. Acid, alkaline or neutral soils will produce different colors. When a florist buys the flowers for use in their business they buy the colors they need.
Hydrangea flower color depends on the pH of the soil - its acidity or alkalinity. Acidic soils produce blue flowers, and alkaline soils produce pink ones. A neutral soil will produce the cream-colored blossoms you want. To get the lime color, you may be looking at getting a particular hybrid - I've seen those in the Volunteer Park Conservatory here in Seattle, and they do take a bit of pampering.
To get the kind you want, or to decide on something else if they're not available, I'd talk to a florist to see what they are able to provide. The ones in your photo are certainly plants that have been grown with a neutral pH level; you'll have to check with the florist to see if it's possible to get them without even a hint of pink or blue.
Good luck!
