Summer Through Fall Color
Refreshing lush green domes jam-packed with intricate flowers remind us of fine lacework. The blossoms held upright on strong stems soften to creamy white and bloom reliably every year from summer to frost. Lovely for fresh or dried bouquets. The Invincibell® series of Hydrangeas are improved versions of the classic Annabelle Hydrangea renowned for their strong stems, reliable blooming and easy care. Smooth Hydrangea are native to North America in much of the central and southeastern United States. Hydrangea Invincibelle Limetta blooms on new wood so there is no worry about winter cold. Proven winners® are trialed and tested to be colorful, long blooming, carefree and easy to grow.

Hydrangea General Information

Hydrangea are superb in the border for summer and autumn color. This shade-tolerant shrub is perfect for under trees and in the shadows of buildings. Provides winter interest too if flowers are left on. Great for indoor decorating as their flowers are easily dried. Idaho has restricted all potted plant material from being shipped into Idaho at this time.

Hydrangea Plant Care

No need to prune - has a nice natural shape. Can be cut to 6" in early spring. Cutting down to a base framework in early spring and ample feeding will yield extra large blooms.

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!

100% Guarantee

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
