Invincibelle® Ruby has dark burgundy red flower buds that open to a two-toned combination of bright ruby red and silvery pink all summer. The foliage is extra dark, and stems are strong, making this hydrangea a gem in any garden. Like other smooth hydrangeas, it flowers on new growth and so blooms every year without fail. It is native to North America and does not require deadheading for continued bloom.

  • 3-4 feet tall and 2-3 feet wide at maturity
  • Hardy in zones 3-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in part to full sun (4+ hours daily)
  • Space plants 2-3 feet apart for best results
  • Produces two-toned ruby red and silvery pink flowers summer to fall
  • Maintains green foliage spring to frost
  • Blooms on new wood
  • Great for borders, landscapes, mass planting, as a focal point, cut and dried flowers
  • Native to North America, salt tolerant, reblooming, deadheading not necessary

Care:  Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Prefers well-drained soil that does not remain soggy for any amount of time. To prune, simply cut back by one-third of its total height every spring, just as new growth begins to emerge on stems. Make cuts just about 1/4 of an inch above a bud. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time.

I’ve planted these I few years ago

I’ve planted these I few years ago. So ordered more to plant in other areas of my property given the great red blooms and no thorns as with older varieties of Quince.

We're delighted to hear that you're pleased with your plant! Thank you for sharing your experience and for choosing Proven Winners. Happy planting!😊🌺

Invincibelle® Ruby Smooth Hydrangea (arborescens)

I have been ordering various plants from P.W. and have had faith in the quality. However, the roses and hydrangeas delivered today are not in good condition overall. Some have not yet grown roots, and some have not even sprouted leaves since they were cut. I thought they would not adapt and would die if I planted them directly in the ground, so I planted them in a large pot and placed them in the shade. I ordered them imagining a bountiful garden, so I hope the flowers will grow well without dying.

Thank you for sharing your review. If your plants do not end up doing well, please email us with photos of their conditions and we would be happy to help!

Sincerely,
PWD Team

The hydrangeas arrived in disarray with the plants tipped over and the box delivered on its side. However, the dirt mostly stayed in the pots due to the packing. The tops of the plants were somewhat mangled but they were watered immediately and planted the next day. They have recovered well and there is no permanent damage. They look healthy and are growing well - definitely good quality plants.

Thank you for your review! 😊

These are a little more red than I initially expected, but they are a very lovely color. Interested to see how the color progresses as they fully bloom and fade.

Ordered and planted these in my daughter’s front garden in, what I thought, was probably just too hot of temperatures. They looked sad but we were hopeful.
She sent me this picture last week. They serviced the winter and are performing like champs!

Received this item well packaged. I held off planting it for a week or so while waiting for warmer nighttime temperatures. The plant held up really well. I planted it about 3 weeks ago and it is growing nicely now that the weather is warming up. I love the unusual options of plants Proven Winners Direct offers.

Invincibelle® Ruby Smooth Hydrangea (arborescens)

Very pleased. PVD always packages the plants tightly secured in the box. I get my deliveries within a day or two because I live in Monroe, just south of the Four Star Nursery. However sometimes I have to have my neighbors put them in garage. Thus, the case for these. Even after two extra days in the box the soil was still damp and the blooms very hydrated. I purchased two, they are now in the ground and look gorgeous.

My overall experience was super smooth and pleasant. I placed two orders, and this one came 2 days later than the other one.. So all leaves were wilted and fell off in 2 days. I contacted the customer service and they replaced my order immediately. Two days later, I received my hydrangeas that are in perfect condition.

I purchased the 3-pk of quart Invincibelle Ruby Hydrangeas with a free auger. It did not take long for my order to arrive. They were in mint condition with lush green foliage. The auger will definitely come in handy. I can’t wait to get them in the ground.

It shipped in a timely manner and I received it with no damage to the plant. This was my first time ordering any plant online through the mail so I was a little nervous as to how it would arrive. I was very pleased and will definitely try it again in the future.
