Let's Dance® Lovable™ Hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'SMNHMTB' PPAF; CBRAF) is a reliably reblooming deciduous shrub. This stunner blooms spring through summer, displaying deep pink or blue flowers in large, fluffy globes. This hydrangea also offers fall interest with its glossy foliage that turns red in the colder weather. Let's Dance® Lovable™ Hydrangea grows to a mature size of 3 - 4 feet high and wide.
This hydrangea can be used in borders, hedges, or as a standalone specimen. If you choose to plant it in a container, make sure to pick a large enough pot. The pot should have drainage and be able to hold the root ball and a few inches of soil surrounding it.
Let's Dance® Lovable™ Hydrangea Care
Plant your Let's Dance® Lovable™ Hydrangea in the early springtime during the coolest part of the day. Hydrangeas classically need plenty of hydration. Keep it well watered until established, and then provide about an inch of water per week. The soil should be well draining and rich in organic matter. Add compost when planting to improve drainage and increase soil nutrients. A fun feature of this hydrangea is that the pH of soil will influence flower color. A low soil pH will turn the flowers blue, and increasing the pH of the soil will turn the flowers hot pink.
Let's Dance® Lovable™ Hydrangea prefers morning sun and afternoon shade since it is susceptible to heat stress. Too much harsh afternoon sun may dry out and scorch the plant. Part to full sun, at least 4 - 6 hours of sunlight daily is recommended. Apply fertilizer if leaves start to turn yellow, using any fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs. Before new growth emerges in the spring, fertilize using a hydrangea-specific, granular, slow-release fertilizer.
Let's Dance® Lovable™ Hydrangea requires no heavy pruning. In fact, heavy pruning may impact the number or quality of blooms for the next growing season. Simple upkeep like removing dead branches is recommended to reduce the risk of disease. Deadheading spent blooms through the growing season can be beneficial, but make sure to stop trimming before fall so new growth doesn’t get damaged by frost.
Let's Dance® Lovable™ Hydrangea Spacing
This showstopper is excellent for creating a low hedge, or it can easily be a standalone specimen in your garden. Allow for 3 to 4 feet of space surrounding this hydrangea.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
