Notes

'Invincibelle Garnetta' smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens 'Invincibelle Garnetta') is a shrub for borders, specimen planting, pollinator gardens, and low maintenance beds. 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 grows in a clumping form at a rapid pace. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it, and it tolerates salt. Deer and rabbits usually look elsewhere for a meal.
