Meet the 2023 Shrub Madness Champion, Let's Dance Sky View reblooming hydrangea. With over 620,000 votes cast, this beautifully colored bigleaf hydrangea won over the hearts of many and took home the crown.

Why grow Let’s Dance Sky View hydrangea?
- Strong stems easily hold up large flowers for the entire season
- Its mid-size habit fits nicely into container displays, mixed beds, and at the front of the border.
- The light hue makes a perfect companion to other blue flowering plants, adding depth to your color palette.
- Breezy light blue, soft lavender, or icy pink. Sometimes you’ll even get all three colors on one plant!
- For gardeners who yearn for a blue hydrangea, this one is very easy to turn.
The Grand Prize Winners
The two grand prize winners are Cocoroos and Justaperson. Both players' brackets most closely predicted the outcome of the competition. They've both won a trip to Grand Haven, Michigan to visit the trial and display gardens, and will receive one-gallons of the last four competing plants, known as the Floral Finalists.
