The pink mopheads can easily be changed to blue by increasing the pH level in the soil!
Another member of the popular Let's Dance® series of reblooming hydrangeas, Rhythmic Blue® offers flowers that are simply amazing. The closely packed mophead blooms are made up of florets with a distinctive geometric shape, putting on a vivid show of color from early summer to early fall. The tight, full mopheads are a rich pink but can easily be turned blue by increasing the pH level in the soil. And when that happens, you'll enjoy one of the richest, most vibrant blues to be found on a hydrangea.
Rhythmic Blue has an attractive habit of wilt-resistant foliage that forms a tidy, 2- to 3-foot high and wide mound. The flowers are held on strong, sturdy stems that are perfect for both fresh and dried arrangements. It blooms on both old and new wood and is a wonderful choice for containers or along borders to bring intense summer color to your landscape.
Thanks to its unique and abundant blooms, Rhythmic Blue was selected as a Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs. It has been grown in trial gardens the world over and in every case it has provided a glorious season of color.
Plant this easy-to-grow, disease resistant shrub in moist, well-drained soil in partial to fun sun. It may be trimmed after early-summer flowering.
