Let's Dance® Sky View Hydrangea Bush

Introducing the Let's Dance® Sky View hydrangea bush, a captivating addition to any garden. This remarkable variety boasts large, beautiful blooms that change color based on soil pH. Known for its reblooming ability, it provides a continuous display of flowers from late spring through early fall. In acidic soils, the flowers show a soft sky blue, while alkaline soils produce delicate pink blooms. The large mophead flowers create a bold statement against the backdrop of glossy green leaves.

Planting Instructions:

• - Keep soil consistently moist but not waterlogged, especially during dry spells

Fertilizer Type:
