Care & maintenance

Invincibelle Ruby® Smooth Hydrangea is remarkably easy to care for. Prune in late winter or early spring just as new growth begins to emerge; this plant blooms on new wood, so early pruning will not compromise flowering. No deadheading is necessary as spent flowers often maintain an attractive appearance. A yearly application of a slow-release granular fertilizer formulated for woody shrubs can enhance bloom production.
