A Storm-Proof Hydrangea
While summer might be known for sunny skies, it also brings the occasional rainstorm that can leave your gorgeous hydrangeas looking all floppy. Fortunately, you can avoid the trouble of staking with Incrediball Storm Proof™ smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens). This new variety holds its flowers up high no matter the weather for a springy, full appearance all season long!
Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea grows in an incredibly dense habit. Its compact frame is covered in an impressive number of puffy, white blooms, which act as a magnet for bees and butterflies. Thanks to extremely strong, non-flopping stems, it keeps its flowers upright, displaying excellent resilience in challenging conditions such as heavy downpours and wind.
Incrediball Storm Proof smooth hydrangea thrives in USDA zones 3-8. The ideal amount of sun exposure depends on where you live. For those in cooler climates, it flourishes in full sun, while gardeners in warmer zones will find it benefits from some afternoon shade. Maturing to a height of 3.5-4′ and width of 3-4′, it makes a lovely border, low hedge, or specimen planting. Its showstopping blooms also make a fantastic cut flower. When it comes to pruning, we recommend doing so in early spring, though dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time.
