Let's Dance^{^®} Big Easy Hydrangea macrophylla

Part Sun to Sun 24 - 36

This hydrangea blooms every year, even after harsh winters! Reblooming Let's Dance hydrangeas bloom on both old and new wood, so even if the flower buds are damaged overwinter they will bloom on later season growth.

Big Easy has exceptionally large, vividly colored mop-head flowers, the largest of perhaps any mop-head hydrangea. The huge blooms go through a wonderful progression of color changes, from pink/green to pink, and often back to green. Color ranges from rich pink to blue depending on soil.
