Incrediball® Blush has a long blooming season, producing huge, rounded flower clusters, up to 12", packed with unique silvery-pink florets that slowly darken to a deep pink and fade to chartreuse in fall. They are borne on strong, sturdy stems that do not flop over and contrast nicely with the foliage of ovate, toothed leaved. Incredibly hardy, this U.S native hydrangea provides months of pretty color. The flower heads may be used as cut flowers or dried to use in indoor arrangements. Deadheading is not necessary. Requires little to no pruning. It blooms on new wood, so if it is pruned it should be done in late winter or early spring. It attracts bees, butterflies, pollinators, and songbirds. It is salt tolerant and rabbit resistant. Landscaping with native plants promotes biodiversity and provides shelter and quality food for wildlife and pollinators, bringing gardens to life.
