Let’s Dance Big Band® Reblooming Hydrangea (macrophylla)

Don’t let its compact size fool you—Let’s Dance Big Band® delivers an unforgettable performance. This petite powerhouse is packed with extra-large, vibrant mophead blooms that appear earlier and more often than other bigleaf hydrangeas.

Care:  Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Pruning is not generally recommended. Although its flower buds are formed on both old wood and new wood, any cuts will impact its flowering potential. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time, just cut back to a set of leaves. If you’d like to prune to shape the plant, this can be done when the plant is starting to break dormancy in late winter or early spring, just look for swelling green leaf buds. Deadheading can be done after bloom, just follow the stem down to the first set of leaves and cut ¼ of an inch above them. Soil pH affects flower color, expect pink blooms in alkaline soils and blue to purple blooms in acidic soils where aluminum is present.
