Let's Dance® Big Band® Hydrangea - Shipped
Big Band Hydrangea is a dwarf fast-growing deciduous shrub with a rounded habit and serrated dark green leaves with no fall color. Its mophead flowers bloom on both new and old wood with color that depends on the soil PH - acidic soils produce violet-blue flowers, while neutral or alkaline soils produce saturated pink flowers- and rebloom continuously through summer. The flowers attract butterflies and pollinators. Best bloom in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils. The Lets Dance series has an early rebloom, improved hardiness, and tightly compact habit.
