Hydrangea arborescens (Smoothleaf Hydrangea)
Color Name: Incrediball® Blush
It's the next big thing in hydrangeas! Incrediball Blush hydrangea is everything you love about the original Incrediball hydrangea, but in pink! Extra large blooms are a very unique and appealing shade of silvery-pink and are held up on strong, sturdy stems. Continues to create fresh flowers through autumn for a very long lasting display.
Growing Tips: We recommend full sun for smooth hydrangeas in the cooler end of its hardiness range; afternoon shade is a good idea in warmer climates, however. The flower color of smooth hydrangeas is not influenced by soil chemistry. Makes an excellent cut flower, both cut and dried.
Soil: Grows well in most soils; avoid wet and poorly drained sites. Mulch is recommended in the landscape.
Pruning: Blooms on new wood - cut back by about one-third its total height in early spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge on the stems. Smooth hydrangeas may be cut back harder, however, this prevents woody cells from developing, prohibiting the plant from achieving its maximum stem strength.
Uses: Versatile and showy, smooth hydrangeas offer dozens of landscape applications: foundation plantings, perennial gardens, hedges, cut flower gardens, naturalizing, pollinator and wildlife gardens.
