Hydrangea macrophylla 'SMHMES14'
Choose Let's Dance® Rhythmic Blue® if you want a compact reblooming blue hydrangea near the house; the tradeoff is that bigleaf hydrangeas need steady moisture and flower color depends on soil chemistry.
Buy This If
- You want blue-to-purple mopheads
- You can water during dry stretches
- You prefer compact foundation planting
Skip This If
- You need a privacy screen
- Deer feed heavily nearby
- You want no soil-pH fuss
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The blue-to-purple mopheads give strong summer color in a small shrub, especially where soil acidity supports blue tones. |
| Growth Rate | B+ | It fills in faster than many bigleaf hydrangeas, but it is still a shrub, not an instant mass. |
| Maintenance | B- | Plan on watering during dry spells, mulching, and pruning lightly so old-wood buds are not removed. |
| Deer Resistance | C | Hydrangeas aren't deer-resistant, but they aren't a deer favorite either. Deer may nibble tender new growth and flower buds, so protect plants where deer pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | A | Its compact, bushy habit works well near entries, patios, and mixed foundation beds. |
| Screening Value | D | It is too low and open in winter to use as a privacy screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for protected beds where the customer wants blue hydrangea color without planting a large shrub. Give it mulch, steady water, and light pruning; do not shear it in spring.

Customers Usually Ask
Will the flowers stay blue?
Only if the soil is acidic enough; otherwise expect purple to pink tones.
When should I prune it?
Prune lightly after the first bloom or remove dead tips; avoid hard spring pruning.
Will it bloom after winter?
It can bloom on old and new wood, which gives better backup than older bigleaf types.
