Invincibelle Mini Mauvette Smooth Hydrangea flourishes in locations with morning sun and afternoon shade. It’s particularly suited for eastern exposures where it receives gentle sunlight.
This hydrangea variety performs best with partial sun, enjoying the morning light while being protected from the intense heat of the afternoon.
Well-drained, moist soil enriched with organic matter provides the ideal environment. It prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH levels but is quite adaptable to different soil conditions.
Space plants approximately 3-4 feet apart to allow for their mature spread and to ensure proper air circulation, promoting healthy growth.
The best time to plant is in the spring or fall when the weather is cooler, allowing the plant to establish itself without the stress of extreme temperatures.
Dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Place the hydrangea in the hole, fill it with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Maintain consistent moisture, especially during the first year after planting. Water deeply once a week, more often during hot, dry periods.
Fertilize in early spring with a slow-release fertilizer formulated for flowering shrubs. A second application in mid-summer can support continued bloom production.
Prune in late winter or early spring, cutting back the previous year’s stems to encourage robust new growth and abundant flowers.
Apply a layer of mulch to retain moisture and control weeds. This is also the time to fertilize to support vigorous growth.
Ensure adequate moisture during hot weeks, and consider a mid-summer fertilizer application to boost flowering.
Prepare the plant for winter by reducing watering as the plant begins to go dormant. Clean up any fallen leaves to keep the area around the plant tidy.
Little care is needed in winter. Ensure the plant is well-mulched to protect the roots in colder zones.
