Incrediball® Smooth Hydrangea — Hydrangea arborescens
Incrediball® Smooth Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens 'Abetwo') is a game-changing improvement on the classic native smooth hydrangea, delivering jaw-dropping blooms on strong, non-flopping stems. The massive soft-white panicle balls are among the largest of any hydrangea, opening from midsummer and lasting until the first frost while attracting butterflies and pollinators in droves. Unlike many hydrangeas, Incrediball is self-cleaning — no deadheading needed — making it one of the most low-effort, high-impact flowering shrubs you can grow. A Proven Winners® selection that thrives in part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils, and hardy all the way to Zone 3.
