Description

A new and innovative reblooming variety, the Let’s Dance ‘Can Do’ Hydrangea has so many great attributes it’s hard to know where to start with the description. As the folks at Proven Winners say, “this one is not just another pretty face!” Perhaps Can Do’s most unique attribute is its ability to create flower buds along the entire length of the stem rather than just at the stem tips like other big-leaf hydrangeas. This means that if a unusually harsh winter comes along and kills back a portion of the plant there will still be flower buds there to open in early summer. And this is what makes Can Do so cold hardy as far north as USDA Zone 4, where it not only survives but will bloom. Can Do also reblooms quicker on new summer growth than others, so you don’t have to wait until fall for the second bloom cycle to occur. The large and elegant lacecap flowers have so many showy sterile florets that they totally obscure the tiny fertile florets, resulting in clusters that appear more like those of the mophead hydrangeas. You choose the color of the flowers, which are a luscious pink in neutral to alkaline (sweet) soils and a lovely violet-purple to lavender in acidic ones. Apply aluminum sulfate to acidify soil or agricultural pelletized lime to sweeten.

Landscape & Garden Uses

Growing naturally in a rounded mound 3 to 4 feet tall and equally as wide, the Can Do Hydrangea is ideal for use as an accent in smaller garden spaces or as a solo or combined with other plants in container gardens. In larger spaces it is stunning in groupings or as a hedge in landscape borders. Also an excellent colorful accent in home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, cut flower gardens, purple or pink theme gardens, and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing: 2.5 to 3 feet apart for solid hedges; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants

Growing Preferences

The Can Do Hydrangea is very easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil with average fertility and full sun to part shade in northern zones and part shade (morning sun with afternoon shade or filtered sun) in southern zones. For best flowering, we suggest 4 hours of direct sun light per day. As with so many other ornamental plants, a constantly soggy or wet soil is problematic.

Note: You choose the flower color. An acid soil will create blue shades while a neutral to alkaline soil creates pink shades. Anything in between makes purple to lavender shades. Learn more about soil pH and how to adjust it.

The plants will tolerate full sun in northern zones however appreciate some afternoon shade or filtered sun in warmer southern zones. We recommend at least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all day lightly filtered sun for best flowering.

Pruning: Can Do is an everblooming Hydrangea macrophylla species that produces its flowers from buds formed on both old wood from the previous fall and new growth in the current summer. Therefore, it’s best to avoid pruning or prune as you would an Endless Summer Hydrangea or other everblooming hydrangeas.
