Hydrangea invincibelle spirit ii

 

Love the hydrangea invincibelle spirit ii by proven winners –

This is a lovely yet tough little plant. It has so much going for it. First, it stays rather compact overall. It is tough to find many shrubs that truly live up to that smaller size claim. Second, the hydrangea blooms are a rich pink bordering on red tones. It blooms late spring between the majority of spring and summer bloomers. So it gets a little time of it’s own to shine.

Hydrangea arborescens is the parent cultivar. It is a native hydrangea and it is rather deer resistant. It also tolerates a wide range of sunlight and moisture. Hydrangea invinvibelle spirit is easy to grow and very forgiving.

It is a bit of an unrefined shrub though, a bit rough on the edges and course in character. Not good for people who want very neat and tidy and uniform plantings. Also does not have any winter interest.

But if you are a more naturalistic gardener who values native plant stock, this little Hydrangea arborescens should find a spot in your gardens.
