They sure did get name right on this one! Incrediball is an improved Hydrangea arborescens most adored and prized for its incredibly enormous flower clusters. Talk about a conversation piece, Incrediball produces nearly basketball size flower heads up to 12 inches across! In summer, the flowers emerge soft green gradually turning to white and then back to a darker green in fall. The strong upright stems are more than able to bear the weight of the gigantic blooms, even when its raining, which makes them excellent for cutting and use in fresh or dried flower arrangements. The deep-green foliage provides an excellent backdrop for the blooms. This selection is also incredibly cold hardy withstanding temperatures down to -40F in USDA Zone 3. At our location here in north-central Georgia Zone 8a, we’ve found that Incrediball will appreciate some filtered sun or shade during the hot afternoon hours, but we hear it will tolerate more afternoon sun in Zones 3a-6b. Being a North American native species, Hydrangea arborescens (Smooth Hydrangea) are some of if not the easiest to grow in the U.S..

Growing in a rounded mound  4 to 5 feet tall and equally as wide, Incrediball Hydrangea is ideal for use as a specimen, in groupings, or as a colorful hedge in landscape and woodland borders and home foundation plantings. A fine addition to Hydrangea gardens, cutting gardens, white theme gardens and cottage gardens.

Suggested Spacing:  4 feet apart for solid hedges;  8 or more apart for space between plants
