Let's Dance Blue Jangles Hydrangea
Hydrangea macrophylla ‘SMHMTAU’Let’s Dance Blue Jangles Hydrangea is a compact reblooming hydrangea prized for its abundant mophead blooms, sturdy stems, and long season of color. Blooming on both old and new wood, it produces large, rounded flower clusters that provide reliable flowering from early summer into fall. In acidic soils, blooms develop rich blue tones, while in more alkaline soils, they produce shades of pink to lavender, allowing gardeners to influence flower color through soil conditions.
Its dense, rounded habit and dark green foliage provide an attractive backdrop for the showy blooms throughout the growing season. The compact size makes it especially useful for smaller landscapes, foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, and patio containers where larger hydrangeas may be overwhelming.
Typically reaching 2 to 3 feet tall and wide, Blue Jangles delivers impressive flower production while maintaining a tidy, manageable form. Its reblooming nature helps ensure dependable color throughout the season, even after harsh winters that might reduce flowering on traditional bigleaf hydrangeas.
