Invincibelle Wee White Hydrangea excels in locations with morning sunlight and afternoon shade. It’s particularly suited for spots that offer protection from the hot midday sun.
This hydrangea thrives in partial sun to partial shade. While it can tolerate full sun in cooler climates, some shade during the hottest part of the day helps prevent stress.
Plant in moist, well-drained soil that is rich in organic matter. Invincibelle Wee White prefers slightly acidic to neutral pH but is adaptable to various soil types.
Space plants about 2-3 feet apart to allow for their mature spread and ensure good air circulation, which helps maintain plant health.
The ideal planting times are spring and fall when temperatures are cooler. This allows the hydrangea to establish its root system without the extreme stress of summer heat or winter cold.
Dig a hole as deep and twice as wide as the root ball. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring it’s at the same level it was in the pot, backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a layer of mulch.
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season. Water deeply once a week, adjusting based on rainfall, to encourage deep root development.
Apply a slow-release fertilizer in early spring tailored for flowering shrubs. Avoid over-fertilizing, which can lead to more leaves and fewer blooms.
Prune in late winter or early spring. Invincibelle Wee White blooms on new wood, so cutting it back encourages fresh growth and more flowers.
Remove any winter protection, apply mulch, and fertilize to support new growth. This is the time to prune to shape the plant and encourage robust blooms.
Monitor water needs, especially in dry conditions, to keep the soil moist. Mulching helps retain soil moisture and keeps roots cool.
Reduce watering as the plant prepares for dormancy. Clean up any fallen leaves to prevent disease.
In colder zones, apply a protective layer of mulch after the ground freezes to protect the roots. No additional winter care is typically necessary in milder climates.
