The showy full-sized blooms of the Invincibelle Sublime Hydrangea are jaw-dropping. Bunches of large, fluffy flowers bloom during the summer and almost appear to hover above the shrub on study stems. The flowers of this smooth hydrangea are a deep tourmaline green and stand out against the broad dark green foliage. This shrub requires lots of sunlight and annual pruning, but otherwise, it is very easy to grow.
The Invincibelle Sublime Hydrangea is native to the southeastern United States. This plant makes a striking addition to hedges, foundation plantings, and perennial gardens. The cloud-like blooms make excellent cut and dried flowers. Hydrangeas attract pollinators like hummingbirds and butterflies, and this variety grows as a perennial in USDA zones 3 through 9.
Invincibelle Sublime™ Hydrangea Care
Hydrangeas do best in rich, slightly acidic soil that promotes drainage. Apply mulch around the plant to hold in the moisture, so the roots do not dry out as quickly. Established plants can be drought-tolerant, but giving the plant a drink during a dry spell or heat wave can help support the shrub. The Invincibelle Sublime Hydrangea needs full sun, especially in colder growing zones. Afternoon shade is ideal in warmer areas.
Prune this Hydrangea back by ⅓ in early spring. Flowers form on new wood, so it is essential to trim the plant back before new growth appears. Cutting the plant back encourages strong stems that are better able to support flower bunches. Remove dead or damaged growth at any time.
Invincibelle Sublime™ Hydrangea Spacing
The Invincibelle Sublime Hydrangea is a medium-sized plant that will be 3.5 to 5 feet tall and just as wide once mature. If featured as a specimen or stand-alone planting, leave at least 6 feet all around the plant. Hydrangeas can be placed as close as 4 to 5 feet if part of a mass planting or to create a hedge.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.
The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
