Invincibelle Lace® Smooth Hydrangea is the first ever smooth hydrangea with gorgeous plum-purple lacecap flowers and dark ruby hued stems. Its elegant coloring and graceful habit fit in perfectly with gardens where the style is loose and informal. Attractive to beneficial pollinators, they are perfect in a cottage or woodland garden at the back of the border or in a prominent location where they can make a statement. We recommend a minimum of six hours of sun for smooth hydrangeas for the strongest stems and the most abundant flowers. In hot climates, afternoon shade is beneficial, but some sun is still recommended for the best results. Prune in early spring, just as the new growth begins to emerge on the stems. Remove any dead wood and cut the entire plant back by about one-third its total height. This helps to preserve the strong woody base while also encouraging new growth for the best blooming. A 2-3″ (5-7.6 cm) layer of shredded bark mulch helps shallow-rooted hydrangeas to conserve moisture and keep roots growing vigorously, which ensures the best performance. Fertilize in early spring, after the ground has thawed but before new growth begins, to ensure the best results.
