You are so right about not finding many videos on Incrediball Hydrangeas. Mine are yellowing. I need to go and purchase that type of Epsoma. Great tips. Panicle Hydrangeas I purchased after my Incrediballs are showing better growing signs than them. I can’t wait to see your results once everything grows as anticipated. Thanks for the tips.🌿🌱🌺🌾
Thanks so much for talking about the sun exposure. I was a little worried, because my small garden gets SO much sun in the summer (more than 8 hours). Thanks! :)
I am in Northern Ca and after about 4-5 days in a row of 100 degree temps they did need water morning and evening. Instead I started watering in the morning and putting up an umbrella for the rest of the day. After more experience I would think they can handle a ton of sun but 100+ really does ware on them.
They get full sun until about 2pm. Here in CA that's about all they can take. If you are in a place with less heat then you could probably get away with full-full sun. Hope this helped!
Good plant. I dump a few bags of grass clippings under my fully grown ones. It seems to help with the extra watering and they seem to really like the extra nitrogen. I don't put any chemicals in my lawn. You might not want to do it if you do. - Also that variety of dwarf Gardenia is a little fussy to me. They tend to yellow and drop leaves when they get stressed over too much, or too little water.
This was a great video! You seem very informed, you spoke clearly, and I love all of the extra tips. I’ve been wanting to extend my front garden beds this spring, and I’ve been stalking proven winners website looking at all of the beautiful hydrangeas. I am in New Orleans, zone 9A (I guess it’s B now) and I noticed that 90% of PW’s hydrangeas only go to zone 8. And unfortunately, I’m not interested in any of the hydrangeas that extend to zone 9. All of the incrediball or invincibelle hydrangeas that I love, I completely counted out because I figured they’re beautiful white blooms would just burn in our southern heat. But then I was looking on a website and I noticed another retailer selling the incrediball hydrangea and they listed it going to zone 9. So then I started thinking, maybe there’s a gray area here. I’m so happy to have found someone that is also in zone nine who is having good luck with the incrediball, with thriving plants! I think I might give it a try in my front garden beds that get full sun, but it’s morning sun so I think I might be ok. I didn’t know that PW suggested to use Rose fertilizer on their hydrangeas and I also didn’t realize that I could just add some soil acidifier to the soil to help with the yellowing of the blooms. I’ve always used one of the acidic tones (azalea tone or holly tone) on my hydrangeas, but I will definitely have to try the soil acidifier from espoma. And great tip on the heavy mulch. You would think these are all basic things any gardener should know about, but for whatever reason, it never occurred to me to do these things, lol! Anyway, really enjoyed your video! Thank you so much for sharing
You gotta go to last years garden tour and check them out. They are amazing!! I will be including them in the garden tour this year. They are about 5 feet tall; whenever someone sees them, they immediately ask and want.
I live in Northern California also, and had to order these Hydrangeas online. I have been a bit worried if they will thrive in my front garden where it get mostly full sun. But after seeing your video, I feel a little confident mine will do fine with your tips. I would really appreciate an update on how they are looking like today, please! Thank you 🙏🏼
Mine are in full sun until about 1pm. I have a dripper on them every single morning that the temps are above 95. I also feed them once per month and I think that helps them. They still flop after a few weeks or so. Next year I am going to try a tomato cage on them and see if that keeps them standing stronger. Stay tuned and good luck with yours 😊
@@intheglenn Awe! Thank you so much for replying to my comment! My garden where I want to place them, takes full sun from 1-6pm. I hope they do well, especially during our hot summer months. Yes! I will stay tune for more of your videos and tips! Thank you once again!
@@Inspire-kx4fb I am not sure they are going to love that 4-6pm heat we get, but keep me in the loop. If you give it a morning and afternoon drink it make be okay, but def keep it well watered twice a day in the hot summer months. Also, I would plant them a bit closer then the tag says. I wish I had planted mine a bit closer.
@@intheglenn I agree! I’ll just have to give them an extra bit of drink during the summer days. I have two endless summer hydrangeas in a XL pot in the same area where I’m planting my Incrediballs, and they are doing great. I do water them everyday and sometimes twice during these hot summer months. Oh! And thank you for the tip on planting them closer than the tags says! I had planned on planting them a few feet a part! 🙏🏼🤍
Hey Susan….if they get some decent sun in the morning then they would be awesome along a house. If they are full full shade then you may be better off with your traditional bigleaf varieties which is a Hydrangea macrophylla. I planted two in full shade and they bloomed beautifully last year. The new ones like incrediball and Annabelle want more sun. I’m in CA any they like the morning and early afternoon sun but the evening seems to be a little much. If you’re in an area that it doesn’t get hotter than 80-85 then you can give them all day sun. Hope that helps 😊
Thanks Glenn for your video! I planted some of these beautiful fellas several months ago, and in the last week my white blooms are turning green? I water daily on an automatic schedule and have given it Holly-Tone. Would you know anything about this? Thanks in advance!
Hey Crystal....mine are beginning to turn more of a lime color as well. I believe that they are actually beginning to turn from white, to a greenish color and then to a brown where you will then snip them off (or leave on) - your preference. Mine bloomed in May, so I did get to enjoy the flowers most of may and whatever life they have left in June. I am thinking about under planting mine with some asters so that later in the year I can have another flush of color to enjoy mixed in with the large dark green leaves. Just a thought! :0)
Most hydrangeas are going to drop all of their leaves in fall/winter. Maybe that’s what’s going on? My incrediball looks pretty ratty right now. In spring after my last frost date I plan to cut mine to the ground and it will spring back. If that isn’t your problem then what does it look like?
Here they need to be cut to the ground in spring and will regrow quickly from that point to June. Due to the changes in season (cold/hot) I would guess that these may not work for you 😭 but….there’s only one way to find out 😀
The ding after the first one was funny, but after that its annoying. I cant finish the video which is sad cus like you said there's just not a lot out there about the plant.
I can only speak of my own experience, but I would think they'd do much better with some sun. The colder the climate the more sun. Here in CA these get morning and afternoon sun until about 2pm and then the rest of the day they are on filtered sunlight. Hope this helps!
Sorry it bugged ya. I was always a huge Howard stern fan back in the day and he would do the bell sound when people repeated themselves. It always made me laugh 😊
Beautiful incrediball hydreangea..My eardrums are suffering right now from that incredibell 🛎 🛎 🛎 noice..lol
I stopped watching because of the bell...woke my hisband up and was irratating..and I wanted to watch the video...just couldnt...
How cute! Your wife bought you the hydrangeas! ❤️
I planted 13 in a hedge along our iron fence they are my favorite hydrangeas so easy
Wow it’s going to look amazing!

Glad you found the video helpful. That Espoma will get the leaves dark green in no time :0)
I’ll be waiting on point after I put it underneath the plants. Great help! 🪴
Wow Lovely Flowers ^^

Awesome hydrangea ! Thanks for the tips
They sure are beautiful! Thanks for taking a second to leave a comment 😊

🎉😊 Thank you so much for this review. Is your hydrangeas in full sun all day?

Good tips with the grass clippings. I’ll try it out. The hydrangeas love water and gardenias do too, so I was hoping they would love it together 😊

Hey Nola.....thank you. You give a lot of great info in here. Enjoy your garden this summer! :0)
The ding was waaay too loud and annoying. Otherwise great video
I placed them on self watering that helps. Mine are on year three. I’ve noticed they have a smell which is very enjoyable actually.
Lol….I did the same. I ran a whole new line just to put drip on them daily. Definitely water hogs 😊
@@intheglenn awesome. You will definitely enjoy them more when you don’t have to take a pitcher of water out there everyday. Lol.
Stop with the loud dings already.
Can we get an update video on the hydrangeas, how big they got etc...
You gotta go to last years garden tour and check them out. They are amazing!! I will be including them in the garden tour this year. They are about 5 feet tall; whenever someone sees them, they immediately ask and want.
I just planted my first hydrangea last night ... did you say it needs Mulch .. whats that?

Would this species of hydrangea be a good foundation planting along the side of a house!?
Hey Susan….if they get some decent sun in the morning then they would be awesome along a house.

@@intheglenn thank you!
That's normal for this plant. You can cut it back for another flush of white flowers late in the summer.
Do these get infested like roses?
If so what do you use on these
Most hydrangeas are going to drop all of their leaves in fall/winter. Maybe that’s what’s going on? My incrediball looks pretty ratty right now. In spring after my last frost date I plan to cut mine to the ground and it will spring back.
If that isn’t your problem then what does it look like?
Can those varieties grow in places with no winter. We only have the purple and blue in southeast asia. Those varieties are from seeds
Here they need to be cut to the ground in spring and will regrow quickly from that point to June. Due to the changes in season (cold/hot) I would guess that these may not work for you 😭 but….there’s only one way to find out 😀
How many hours of sun does your incrediballhydrangea get and what time of day?
8am until about 1:00-1:30. So, about 4-5 hours. Happy 4th 😊
The ding after the first one was funny, but after that its annoying.
I cant finish the video which is sad cus like you said there's just not a lot out there about the plant.
How annoying is that pinging sound every time the word incredible is said
Can it tolerate shade?
I can only speak of my own experience, but I would think they'd do much better with some sun. The colder the climate the more sun. Here in CA these get morning and afternoon sun until about 2pm and then the rest of the day they are on filtered sunlight. Hope this helps!
Who doesn't love a white Hydrangea? Madonna, that's who.
Looks incrediball 🤣
I planted 27
Wow you’re a bad ass! That’s going to look amazing. 😀😀😀👍👍👍
that horribly obnoxious "ding" gets an otherwise wonderful video a thumbs down. Way too loud - seriously.
Sorry it bugged ya. I was always a huge Howard stern fan back in the day and he would do the bell sound when people repeated themselves. It always made me laugh 😊
Wtf is the point of that loud dinging noise?! Im a minute in and I'm done. My dog is even getting annoyed.
Same here. After the 3 or 4th ding, I was out. Tired of you tubers that treat us like we are idiots.
No dinging please...very annoying.
The dings are ridiculous
Yeah, not my greatest moment LOL
