Landscape Notes: Let's Dance Can Do! hydrangea is an excellent rebloomer, requiring only a short period of vegetative growth in order to create new wood blooms. However, it has another trick up its sleeve: it sets its flower buds along the entire length of the stem, not merely at the tips. This means that if this hydrangea is cut back, or damaged by cold temperatures, those lower old wood buds will still develop into flowers.

Exposure/Culture: It can tolerate partial sun to full sun, or anywhere between 4 and 8 hours of direct sunlight. If planted in full sunlight, be sure to provide extra water during hot summer days or periods of drought. The hotter climate you live in, the more shade this plant can tolerate. The plant needs moist but well drained soil. We also recommend adding a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture. You can fertilize in early spring with a slow release granular fertilizer. Make sure the ground is thawed completely before applying. You may also feed the plant a second time in late spring. Do not fertilize after late July, because it will negatively impact the plant going dormant for the winter. Pruning Let's Dance Can Do Hydrangea cannot be pruned without impacting how many flowers the plant produces. It blooms on both new and old wood. We do not recommend pruning if possible. However, you can trim sick or dead branches and leaves at any time of the year.

Other Notes: These bigleaf hydrangeas can be grown in perennial gardens, as a low hedge or garden border, or in a mass planting. These hydrangeas also grow great in garden planters to add some color to a patio, entryway, balcony or a deck.
