It grows 3 to 4 feet tall and about 3 feet wide, and it is hardy in zones 4 through 9.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCold winters and late frosts often cost bigleaf hydrangeas their flowers. Hot Stepper blooms on both old and new wood, so even after a hard winter it keeps flowering on the season's new growth. Look closely and you will see fine white veins on the petals, and as the blooms age they darken, playing off the fresh flowers and lime-green buds.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlowers are pink. For blue flowers, grow it in acidic soil or add aluminum sulfate. Use it to fill a border, in a mass planting, as the centerpiece of a large container, or in a cutting garden; the flower heads are good fresh or dried. Space plants about 3 feet apart.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant it in full sun to part sun with four or more hours of direct light, and give it afternoon shade in hot summer areas. It likes moist, well-drained soil rich in organic matter, so water during dry spells and mulch to hold moisture. Pruning is rarely needed: remove dead wood in spring, and trim right after the early summer flush if you want to shape it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdd Let's Dance Hot Stepper® to your cart for reliable hydrangea color, even after a cold winter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Proven Winners","offers":[{"title":"#1 Container","offer_id":62529976271218,"sku":"24228","price":44.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/naturehills.com\/products\/lets-dance-hot-stepper-hydrangea","provider":"Nature Hills Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
