Let's Dance Big Band Reblooming hydrangea

Let's Dance® Big Band® ('SMNHMP') is a compact, mounded, deciduous bigleaf hydrangea with large mophead flowers that rebloom on old and new wood. It grows about 30 inches tall and wide; blooms can shift from violet-purple or blue in acidic soil to pink in more basic conditions ([breeder profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/lets-dance-big-band-reblooming-hydrangea-hydrangea-macrophylla), [patent record](https://patents.justia.com/patent/PP32514)). ## Garden placement Part sun to sun suits it, and the breeder lists USDA Zones 5–9. Listed uses include borders, containers, cut and dried flowers, landscape plantings, and specimen displays; the container role is a thriller. The cultivar is also rated salt tolerant ([cultivar details](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/lets-dance-big-band-reblooming-hydrangea-hydrangea-macrophylla)). ## Growing conditions The plant is rated for average water and fertile soil. Bigleaf hydrangeas benefit from moist, well-drained soil and afternoon protection in hot conditions; flower color can shift with pH, so test soil before making a change ([breeder care notes](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/lets-dance-big-band-reblooming-hydrangea-hydrangea-macrophylla)). ## Maintenance Avoid routine pruning, because this selection flowers on both old and new wood. Wait until spring growth identifies winter-damaged stems before removing them ([breeder care notes](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/lets-dance-big-band-reblooming-hydrangea-hydrangea-macrophylla)).
