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: 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. Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer.

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!

The 6 hydrangeas I ordered came packaged with little to no protection. 4 of them jammed into one box! The majority of them looked like they had been drop-kicked off a climb. They had many broken limbs & leaves. I reached out to Proven Winners 3 days ago so far work no response back. I spent too much money with this company to experience this lack of care from them!! I've been patiently waiting for a response back with a resolution but my patience is not eternal.
