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 3-4 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

Our deciduous shrubs are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage is turning colors, drying out, and falling off—this is completely normal! Shedding leaves helps the plants conserve energy and prepare for the next growing season. Rest assured, your shrubs will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

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.
