Incrediball® Blush Smooth Hydrangea
Hydrangea arborescens

Incrediball® Blush is everything you love about the classic Incrediball® series — with a gorgeous new twist. This showstopping smooth hydrangea produces enormous, silvery-pink blooms held proudly on strong, sturdy stems that won’t flop, even under the weight of its massive flowers. Bred as an improved version of the beloved ‘Annabelle,’ this North American native offers exceptional reliability, cold hardiness, and nonstop color from midsummer through frost.

Perfect for borders, mass plantings, and cutting gardens, Incrediball® Blush delivers both elegance and strength in one hardy shrub. The blooms make stunning additions to fresh or dried arrangements, and because it reblooms, you’ll enjoy a continuous display of flowers well into fall.

Uses Notes:

Mass plantings, landscapes, naturalizing, cutting gardens, mixed borders.

Maintenance Notes:

Smooth hydrangeas, also known as 'Annabelle' hydrangeas, are some of the easiest and most reliable types you can grow, especially if you live in a cold climate. Caring for them is simple: in early spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge on the stems, cut the plant back by about one-third its height. That's it! If you wish, you can apply a granular fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs, like a rose fertilizer.

The largest blooms develop after the plant has become established - typically about 3 years after planting. The plant will bloom before this, but they won't start reaching their maximum size until they have developed a good root system.

Smooth hydrangeas like Incrediball Blush can grow in full sun in cooler climates - a minimum of 6 hours a day ensures the strongest stems, the biggest blooms, and the best flower color. However, the warmer your climate, the more shade they can take; afternoon shade is particularly beneficial in these areas.

Don't hesitate to harvest flowers to enjoy in a vase or dry for craft projects - this reblooming hydrangea will simply create more!
