The large rounded mophead flower clusters are composed of sterile florets that range from deep blue-violet, purple, to a deep saturated pink, depending on soil acidity and the availability of aluminum, are produced from late spring or early summer into fall. Let's Dance® Rave® Bigleaf Hydrangea is a compact growing 2-3'H x 3-4'W plant with dark green disease resistant foliage, strong sturdy stems, excellent flower power producing flowers on both old and new growth, and reliable zone 5 cold hardiness. The Let's Dance® Hydrangea series was developed in Michigan's harsh winters by breeder Tim Woods for reliable cold hardiness, excellent flower power, rich colors, with strong sturdy stems and a compact habit. As with other Bigleaf Hydrangeas, provide this Proven Winners® Color Choice® selection with a moist, well-drained, fertile soil in an area that receives morning sun with shade or filtered shade during the hottest portion of the day in areas with hot summer climates. In cooler climates Bigleaf Hydrangeas can tolerate full to mostly sunny sites. Some direct sunlight, preferably >4 hours per day, is needed for good bud and flower production. Photo courtesy of Proven Winners - www.provenwinners.com, all rights reserved. Item# 12913
