Notes
'Invincibelle Ruby' smooth hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens 'Invincibelle Ruby') is a shrub for borders, foundation plantings, pollinator gardens, and woodland edges. It is hardy to USDA zone 3, or down to -40°F (-40°C). This plant likes full sun to part shade and average to moist, sandy, loamy, or clay soil. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. Butterflies, bees, and birds visit it. It grows fast and can spread by suckers, so give it room.
Pairs well with Cinnamon fern, Solomon's seal, and Sedge.
