1. Does Incrediball Hydrangea bloom on old or new wood?
Incrediball blooms on new wood, meaning flowers form on stems produced during the current growing season. This makes late-winter or early-spring pruning a practical option.
2. How big does Incrediball Hydrangea get?
Expect a substantial rounded shrub, commonly around 4 to 5 feet tall and wide, although mature size varies with growing conditions and pruning.
3. Can Incrediball Hydrangea grow in full sun?
It can handle more sun in cooler climates when moisture is dependable. In hot-summer areas, morning sun with afternoon shade helps protect leaves and blooms from stress.
4. Do Incrediball Hydrangea flowers change color with soil pH?
No. Unlike many bigleaf hydrangeas, this smooth hydrangea produces white blooms that do not turn blue or pink in response to soil pH.
5. When should I prune Incrediball Hydrangea?
Prune in late winter or early spring before vigorous new growth begins. Remove damaged stems and shape the plant to maintain the size and structure you want.
6. Why is my Incrediball Hydrangea wilting?
Large leaves lose moisture quickly in heat, and the plant prefers evenly moist soil. Check soil moisture before watering; persistent wilting in wet soil may point to drainage or root problems.
