What customers say
The Invincibelle Spirit II Hydrangea is celebrated for its exceptional reliability and cold hardiness, thriving beautifully in challenging Zones 3 and 4. Gardeners highly value its vibrant, consistent true pink blooms, offering a dependable alternative to white varieties. A key feature is its improved stem strength, which resists flopping after inclement weather. Furthermore, its reblooming nature ensures a continuous floral display from early summer until frost, significantly enhancing its perceived value. Despite slow initial growth common to new shrubs, long term satisfaction remains extremely high. Customers consider this a durable, low maintenance investment that consistently delivers superior garden performance.
Know before you buy
Yes, the Invincibelle Spirit II is a reblooming variety. It produces its primary flush of flowers in early summer and will continue to push out new blooms periodically until the first frost.
This variety was specifically bred for improved stem strength. Unlike older smooth hydrangeas, its sturdy stems are designed to keep the large blooms upright even after heavy rain.
Because it blooms on new wood, you should prune this hydrangea back by about one-third of its total height in late winter or early spring. This encourages vigorous new growth and ensures a strong structure for the upcoming season.
In cooler climates within zones 3-5, full sun is generally fine. However, if you live in a warmer zone, the plant will perform best with some afternoon shade to prevent the foliage from wilting during the hottest part of the day.
Since the mature spread is 3 to 4 feet, you should space the plants about 3 feet apart on center. This allows them to grow together to form a continuous, dense hedge without overcrowding.
Yes, the blooms start as a vibrant, deep pink and gradually transition to an attractive, soft green as they mature. This color shift provides visual interest throughout the summer and into the fall.
