A hydrangea hybrid (H. macrophylla × serrata) this is a standout for consistent, yearly blooming, whether you grow it in Michigan or Florida.
In any kind of soil pH, Let’s Dance Sky View® has the loveliest sky-colored hue, just like a sunrise. Breezy light blue, soft lavender, or icy pink. Sometimes you’ll even get all three colors on one plant! Its floral show starts out honeydew-green, with the edges of the sepals tinged blue, pink, or lavender. For gardeners who yearn for a blue hydrangea, this one is very easy to turn. The light hue makes a perfect companion to other blue flowering plants, adding depth to your color palette. Its mid-size habit fits nicely into container displays, mixed beds, and at the front of the border. When it comes to garden planning, perhaps it’s time to reach for the sky?
