Hydrangea Incrediball® Blush Smooth Hydrangea

A Proven Winners® ColorChoice® Flowering Shrubs variety, Hydrangea Incrediball® Blush Smooth Hydrangea is everything you love about the original Incrediball®, but its enormous mophead flower clusters, the size of basketballs, are a unique silvery-pink shade that deepens as they mature and turn jade green by summer's end. Blooming on new wood, fresh flowers continue through autumn. The dried blooms last for months on the shrub, and even longer when cut and used in indoor arrangements.

Hydrangea Incrediball® Blush, a native plant, is as tough as it is beautiful. A freely branching, triploid plant, the shrub has a compact, upright, rounded, spreading habit. The blooms are held on tall, sturdy stems that support the massive blooms even through heavy rain. And the blooms are resilient too, blooming year after year even after harsh winters. Reaching 4 to 5 feet high and wide, the shrub is perfect for adding a pop of color to a bed or border, for bringing tons of interest with a mass planting, and for gracing your home with cut arrangements, fresh or dried.

Cold hardy and easy to grow, this smooth hydrangea grows best in a sunny to partially sunny location with moist, well-draining soil. It is salt tolerant and rabbit resistant. The bush may be pruned in late winter or early spring.

A native plant, Incrediball® Blush is indigenous to North America. Native plants are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly. Naturally adapted to the climate and soil conditions of the region, they thrive without fertilizers or extra watering, once established. They also act as natural pest controls, reducing the need for pesticides in the garden. Landscaping with native plants promotes biodiversity and provides shelter and quality food for wildlife and pollinators, bringing gardens to life.
