Proven Winners - Hydrangea mac. Let's Dance Rhythmic Blue Bigleaf Hydrangea Shrub, #3 Container

The eye-catching Hydrangea macrophylla Rhythmic Blue is a remarkable reblooming hydrangea with truly mesmerizing flowers. The florets have a distinctive geometric shape and are densely packed into full, richly colored mop head flowers that are held up on sturdy stems. This reliable plant's tidy habit and good wilt-resistance add to its overall appeal.

The real showstopper, however, is the hydrangea's ability to effortlessly shift from pink to a captivating amethyst-blue hue by adjusting the soil pH. This hydrangea boasts the richest and most vibrant blue color seen in the genus, making it a true delight for gardeners. It is an excellent choice for planting along foundations or in any garden with half to full day sun exposure.

To ensure optimal growth, this Hydrangea prefers moist, well-drained soils. It may be trimmed after early summer flowering, and the soil pH will affect the flower color. To encourage blue flowers, gardeners can add aluminum sulfate to the soil.

The plant is delivered directly from the nursery in a 3-gallon trade pot, fully rooted in the soil and ready for immediate planting, weather permitting. Planting and care instructions will accompany the shipment. It is advised not to plant during frigid winter months or under drought conditions.

For best results, this Hydrangea macrophylla Rhythmic Blue should be planted in USDA Hardiness Zones 5-9. At maturity, it will reach a height of 2-3 feet and a spread of 3-4 feet. In acidic soils, the flowers will be blue, while basic soils will produce pink flowers.

This versatile hydrangea thrives in full sun or partial shade. During the late fall and winter months, the plant will be dormant (without leaves), which is a normal part of its growth cycle. It will leaf out again in the spring, signaling the start of a new season of vibrant, color-changing blooms.
