In autumn, the healthy foliage takes on rich bronze-red tones for additional interest late in the season.

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Moonlight Hydrangea is very adaptable but performs best in rich, well-drained, moist soil. If you plant this hardy Hydrangea in full sun, sufficient moisture is required and a 3-4 inch layer of mulch over the soil surface. When planted in hot climates, they appreciate afternoon shade. During hot, dry summers additional watering will be required to keep it flowering. Prune Bigleaf Hydrangea in early spring as soon as you see new growth emerging, and deadhead immediately after flowering to avoid removing next years flowers. This pH-sensitive Hydrangea will be blue in acidic soil, and pink in alkaline.

Let’s dance Moonlight bloom regularly - blue

Let’s dance Moonlight have bloomed regularly for about 10 yrs now against the house, mostly north exposure. Originally pink flowers when purchased but transitioned to purple and now blue in our soil. 3’ in ht. When nearby grass was limed they reverted to pinkish purple then back to mostly blue. We are zone 6b and with recent Very hot dry summers they wilt with the brief afternoon sun they get. Unfortunate. May have to consider moving them if these conditions continue every year. Otherwise very pleased with them

Hi there, Thank you for taking the time to leave us a lovely review! It sounds like you've done a great job with your Bigleaf hydrangeas. ‘Let’s Dance Moonlight’ are happiest with morning sun and afternoon shade, consistently moist (not soggy) soil, and a 2–3' mulch to keep roots cool; if the brief afternoon sun keeps stressing them, consider moving them in fall/early spring to a spot with dappled light. Thanks again - Nature Hills Customer Support

Small size

I was hoping the flower color would be a deeper pink but the plant size is swell for us.

Hi Jake,

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the Proven Winners® Let's Dance® Moonlight Hydrangea! We're glad to hear that the plant size fits well with your space. We appreciate your note about the flower color—these hydrangeas often bring subtle variations depending on growing conditions such as soil pH and sunlight exposure.

If you’re aiming for a deeper pink hue, you might consider slightly adjusting your soil’s acidity by adding garden lime, which helps reduce acidity and encourages pinker blooms. Also, providing ample sunlight (around 4-6 hours a day) can enhance color vibrancy. Feel free to reach out if you'd like guidance on soil testing or more care tips to achieve the perfect bloom shade.

Thanks again for your feedback, Jake! We’re here anytime you need plant advice.

Hi Jake,

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We’re delighted to hear the Proven Winners® Let's Dance® Moonlight Hydrangea is a good size for your space. Regarding the flower color, the “Moonlight” variety typically blooms with soft, best-in-class pastel hues rather than deeper pinks. If you’re looking for richer pink blooms, you might consider varieties like “Let’s Dance® Blushing Bride” or “Penny Mac,” which tend to have more vibrant pink tones.

If you’d like, we’re happy to help recommend additional shrubs or watering and care tips to bring out the best colors in your current hydrangea. Hydrangeas can sometimes display color variations depending on soil pH and fertilization, so amending your soil with slightly acidic or aluminum-rich additives might gently influence bloom color.

Thanks again for choosing Nature Hills — we’re always here to help you grow the garden of your dreams!
