Notes
'Let's Dance Blue Jangles' bigleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla 'Let's Dance Blue Jangles') is a shrub for cut flowers, cottage gardens, shade gardens, and foundation plantings. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes part sun to full shade and average to wet, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything. This dwarf reblooms, and its mop head flowers turn from blue to lavender to pink as soil pH rises.
Pairs well with First Frost hosta, Aureola Japanese forest grass, Autumn fern, and Lenten rose.
