Let’s Dance® Rave® Reblooming Bigleaf Hydrangea

Let’s Dance® reblooming hydrangeas flower on both old and new wood, so they flower even after harsh winters or untimely pruning. If the early summer bloom is compromised by late freezes or a pruning mistake, the plants will flower again in late summer. Rave has abundant mophead blooms with intense colors. In acidic soils they are a rich violet color, while in basic soils they are a saturated pink. The unusual violet color is a distinctive choice for gardens.
