Let's Dance Starlight Bigleaf Hydrangea

Let’s Dance® Starlight is the trade name for Hydrangea macrophylla ‘Lynn’, a deciduous, compact, mounded lacecap that flowers on both old and new growth. The flattened heads carry showy outer florets around smaller fertile flowers, and their blue-to-pink tones shift with soil pH. ## Flowers and placement The [breeder’s profile](https://www.provenwinners.com/plants/hydrangea/lets-dance-starlight-bigleaf-hydrangea-hydrangea-macrophylla) lists spring and summer flowering, with multiple waves through the season. It matures about 2–3 ft tall and wide. Plant it in part sun to sun and moist, well-drained soil; provide supplemental water in hot or dry weather. Border plantings, massed groups, hedges, screens, mixed containers, and cut-flower gardens all suit its lacecap form. The [Canadian cultivar record](https://active.inspection.gc.ca/english/plaveg/pbrpov/cropreport/hydr/app00006911e.shtml) confirms ‘Lynn’ as the denomination behind the Let’s Dance Starlight trade name. ## Maintenance Most plants need little pruning. If shaping is necessary, trim lightly after the first flowering while retaining healthy stems for later rebloom. Keep soil moist without waterlogging, and mulch the root area where summers are hot or dry. The breeder rates this selection for USDA zones 5–9 and notes that flower color can be encouraged toward blue in more acidic soil with available aluminum.
