How does the 'Incrediball' hydrangea improve upon the classic 'Annabelle'?
The 'Incrediball' variety was specifically bred to improve upon the classic 'Annabelle' by featuring vastly thicker, sturdier stems. This prevents the massive white flower heads from flopping over to the ground after heavy rain.

When is the best time to prune an 'Incrediball' hydrangea?
Because 'Incrediball' blooms on new wood, it should be pruned back heavily in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Cutting the stems down to about 4 to 6 inches from the ground encourages larger blooms for the upcoming season.
How tall does the Incrediball hydrangea grow?
Once fully mature, the Hydrangea arborescens 'Incrediball' shrub generally reaches a height and spread of about 4 to 5 feet. Introduced around 2010, it grows quickly to form a dense, rounded shape in the landscape.
