FAQs
<h2>FAQs for the Incrediball® Hydrangea</h2>
<h2>1. What makes the Incrediball® Hydrangea stand out compared to other hydrangeas?</h2>
The Incrediball® Hydrangea is famous for its enormous, ball-shaped flower clusters that can grow up to 12 inches in diameter. These blooms start off a pale green, then transition to white, and finally age back to a soft green. Besides its striking appearance, this hydrangea has notably strong stems, which help it stand tall even under the weight of its massive blooms, making it a low-maintenance beauty in your garden.
<h2>2. How do I care for an Incrediball® Hydrangea?</h2>
The Incrediball® Hydrangea is quite easy to care for. Plant it in well-drained soil with access to full sun or partial shade. Regular watering is important, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil consistently moist. Pruning can be done in late winter or early spring to encourage healthy growth. Fertilizing once a year in early spring with a balanced fertilizer will help promote robust blooms.
<h2>3. Can Incrediball® Hydrangea be grown in containers?</h2>
Yes, the Incrediball® Hydrangea can be grown in large containers, making it a flexible option for patios or small gardens. Just make sure the container has good drainage and is big enough to accommodate its root system. Container-grown plants will need more frequent watering and possibly extra protection during winter in colder climates.
<h2>4. When and how should I prune my Incrediball® Hydrangea?</h2>
Prune your Incrediball® Hydrangea in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. Cut back the stems to about 12-18 inches above the ground. This helps maintain a neat shape and encourages larger blooms. Don’t worry—Incrediball® blooms on new wood, so pruning won’t affect the flowering.
<h2>5. How long does it take for Incrediball® Hydrangea to bloom, and when does it flower?</h2>
