2026 Hydrangea of the Year!
The Let's Dance Lovable® Bigleaf Hydrangea is so stunning and colorful that any photo of it looks edited! Like many Let's Dance hydrangeas, it's a larger mid-sized shrub that naturally mounds extremely well. It has warm green foliage, on top of which it shows off its true colors, and during the fall turns a vibrant red. Every bloom looks like its own flavor of cotton candy, with flowers of baby blue, soft pink, and lavender mixing together to create a truly dreamy shrub that's ready to perform.

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Pruning is not generally recommended. Although its flower buds are formed on both old wood and new wood, any cuts will impact its flowering potential. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time, just cut back to a set of leaves. If you’d like to prune to shape the plant, this can be done when the plant is starting to break dormancy in late winter or early spring, just look for swelling green leaf buds. Deadheading can be done after bloom, just follow the stem down to the first set of leaves and cut ¼ of an inch above them. Soil pH affects flower color, expect pink blooms in alkaline soils and blue to purple blooms in acidic soils where aluminum is present.
