Hydrangea Let's Dance Sky View®

Let's Dance Sky View® - a standout among Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs. This deciduous shrub, born from the cross of H. macrophylla x serrata, is a true year-round delight for your garden. Here's why it deserves a spot in your green space:

Continuous Blooms: This bigleaf hydrangea is a prolific bloomer, gracing your garden with a beautiful floral display that lasts from summer through fall. It's a resilient rebloomer on old wood, with buds that withstand even challenging weather.

Vibrant Color Play: The florets of Let's Dance Sky View® add a burst of color to your garden, ranging from pink to blue based on soil pH. Optimal blue transformation is recommended, as the emerging soft blue florets, adorned with a honeydew green eye, evolve into a captivating full sky blue.

Sturdy Elegance: Supported by long and robust stems, the large mophead clusters not only endure but also serve as excellent material for both fresh and dried floral arrangements.

Following the initial frost, the flower clusters undergo a transformation from tan to caramel. This, coupled with the mature plants' papery brown bark peeling away to reveal hints of a cinnamon hue on stems and branches, introduces a delightful textural dimension to your winter garden. This effect is particularly charming against a snowy backdrop. Additionally, the hollow stems serve as nesting spots for bees, adding to the ecological appeal of this seasonal spectacle.

This shrub grows in a cane-like way, with lots of branches creating a rounded, mounded shape. It's perfect for containers, but also great for showcasing on its own or adding to beds and borders.

Thriving with ease in your garden, the bigleaf hydrangea is a low-maintenance delight. Ideal conditions include a touch of morning sun paired with afternoon shade, nutrient-rich well-draining soil, and a generous supply of water. While this shade-loving shrub can tolerate more sunlight with consistently moist soil, it's worth noting that Let's Dance Sky View takes it a step further ? specifically bred to excel in heat tolerance.
