Description

A Proven Winners® Color Choice® Flowering Shrubs variety, Hydrangea Invincibelle Mini Mauvette® Smooth Hydrangea is a deciduous shrub offering year-round interest. Having outstanding ornamental value and dependable performance, Invincibelle Mini Mauvette flowers continuously in large mopheads on new wood from early summer well into fall, often to first frost. The rounded clusters of deep-mauve violet florets are held aloft broad, dark green leaves on sturdy stems and make long-lasting cuts for fresh and dried arrangements.

After the first frost, flower clusters turn tan to caramel, and along with the shredding and peeling papery brown bark on mature plants that reveals glimpses of the underlying cinnamon hue of stems and branches, they add a textural element to the winter garden, especially pleasing in a snowy landscape. The plant also hosts the hydrangea sphinx moth, and in winter, hollow stems provide nesting habitats for bees.

Invincibelle Mini Mauvette hydrangea is highly adaptable and very reliable. This densely multistemmed, suckering shrub has a dwarf, mounding habit that gives it the flexibility to thrive just about anywhere in the garden, even in containers. It is an excellent specimen but is shown to best effect when massed.

Easy to grow and maintain, both cold hardy and heat tolerant, smooth hydrangea prefers morning sun and afternoon shade; average, well-draining soil; and plenty of water. The plant requires sun to bloom and can tolerate full sun if well watered; however, full sun should be avoided in hot climates. It is intolerant of drought, so it must be kept moist in dry conditions. Spring pruning is recommended.

A native plant, Invincibelle Mini Mauvette is indigenous to North America. Native plants are not only beautiful but also environmentally friendly. Naturally adapted to the climate and soil conditions of the region, they thrive without fertilizers or extra watering, once established. They also act as natural pest controls, reducing the need for pesticides in the garden. Landscaping with native plants promotes biodiversity and provides shelter and quality food for wildlife and pollinators, bringing gardens to life.
