Plant: Invincibelle Wee White® Smooth Hydrangea

Plant description

Described by Proven Winners as the only dwarf Annabelle type hydrangea in the world, this compact smooth hydrangea reaches only 1 to 2.5 feet tall and wide. Flowers emerge nearly white with a blush pink cast and turn creamy white, blooming continuously from early summer through frost on supportive stems that stay upright even after storms. It takes part sun to sun with six or more hours for the best flowering, wants consistent moisture under a 2 to 3 inch mulch layer, and is cut back by one third each spring. It suits edging, borders, containers, foundation plantings and mass plantings.
