The Let's Dance® Rhythmic Blue™ Hydrangea from Proven Winners ColorChoice® has the truest blue colored flowers we’ve ever seen on a hydrangea. This compact shrub has tight geometric shaped mophead blooms that are either pink or blue depending on soil pH. We definitely recommend adjusting the soil so it blooms blue though!
The small bush blooms in early summer, then re-blooms again late summer or early fall. The sturdy stems ensure the flowers are help upright, and make the blooms perfect for cut flower arrangements. The leaves are also wilt-resistant compared to other hydrangeas.
Let's Dance Rhythmic Blue Hydrangea Care
Plant these hydrangeas in moist but well-drained soil. These shrubs prefer locations with early morning sun, but some afternoon shade for relief during hot summer days. Especially in warmer locations like zones 8 and 9.
Pruning Lets Dance Rhythmic Blue Hydrangeas is not necessary. However, if you do choose to prune, do so early summer after the first bloom. Never cut back more than a ⅓ of the total length of the branches.
To change the color of the flowers to blue, add aluminum sulfate in early spring before growth starts.
Let's Dance Rhythmic Blue Hydrangea Spacing
Plant these hydrangeas 2 to 3 feet apart, center on center. If you choose to create a landscaping border or small hedge, plant 18 to 24 inches apart, center on center.
These are great in garden planters as well. If you choose to use more than 1 in the planter, use the same spacing as stated above. The shrubs will also require extra winter protection if you choose to grow these in a planter.
