Let's Dance® Can Do!® Hydrangea — Hydrangea serrata
Let's Dance® Can Do!® Hydrangea (Hydrangea serrata 'SMNHSI') is an exceptional compact rebloomer that does something no other hydrangea can — it produces flower clusters all along its stems, not just at the tips, for an unmatched floral display. The lacecap flower color shifts with soil pH: acidic soils bring out beautiful lavender-blue, while alkaline soils produce warm strawberry pink. A fast-growing shrub with a tidy, well-behaved habit, it blooms first on old wood in early summer, then quickly reblooms on new wood later in the season. Part of the renowned Let's Dance® series, celebrated for early reblooming, improved hardiness, and a compactly tidy habit. Thrives in full to part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils.
