Incrediball® Smooth Hydrangea is a stunning native shrub that captivates with its impressive, basketball-sized blooms. Starting as delicate green buds, the blossoms quickly transform into pure white, then gradually mature into a rich, jade green hue. Its strong, sturdy stems provide reliable support, ensuring the blooms remain upright without flopping, making it an easy-to-grow addition to any garden. Ideal for creating a striking hedge or as a focal point, this hydrangea also excels as a cut or dried flower, bringing beauty and elegance to both your garden and floral arrangements. 

  • 4-5 feet tall and wide at maturity
  • Hardy in zones 3-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in part to full sun in northern climates and part sun (4+ hours daily) in southern climates.
  • Space plants 5-6 feet apart for best results
  • Produces white flowers throughout summer that age to jade green in fall
  • Maintains green foliage spring to frost
  • Blooms on new wood
  • Great for borders, hedges, landscapes, cut and dried flowers
  • Native to North America, salt tolerant, fall interest

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.

All hydrangeas arrived in good shape. Watered them well. Since the weather turned cold, we didn't plant them for a couple of days. Instead, let them sit in the sun during the day and then brought them indoors at night. Now in the ground and doing well.

I received this Incrediball Smooth Hydrangea (2 total) and few weeks ago. I planted it 5 days after receiving (our weather at that time was still perfect for planting). Anyway, they arrived dormant for which I am good with considering it is winter. They went into the ground with ease with Biotone root starter, and mulched around them as I do with all my plants. So far so good! They are doing well. Winter has set in now (zone 8b), freezing temps, ice, and snow (rarity). But these babies still look good. As a matter of fact, I ordered some more, received them a few days ago, and have placed them inside my enclosed garage just waiting to plant them! Proven Winners plants are awesome and a great investment for transforming my land into my little piece of paradise!
