Notes
'Incrediball Storm Proof' smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens 'Incrediball Storm Proof') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, and pollinator gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. It stays compact, and its many white flower heads cover the plant from top to bottom. It blooms on new wood, so you can cut it back to the ground in winter. It sits low on the menu for deer and rabbits.
Pairs well with Sensitive fern, Cinnamon fern, and Spanish bluebell.
