I made one mistake, I placed the young plant outside in full sun, during the time that we're getting record setting heat in Baton Rouge. The leaves withered and burnt really bad. So, I brought the plant inside and gave it some rain water and kept it under a light. As the plant started to sprout new growth, I clipped off the dead leaves and branches and watched it evolve into a very green and lovely plant!!

    You will not be disappointed!
    I love my Incrediball hyrdrangeas! They are a true show stopper! They do need their water in hot temperatures but are pretty forgiving.

      So far, so good. It was a bit small....but I planted immediately, and is doing well!

      Incredible incrediball hydrangea!!!
      I bought them 4 years ago. They have grown very well and are a showstopper in my front yard. Bonus - They require very minimum Maintenance. Several strangers stop by to inquire about them. Very happy with the purchase.

        Healthy but tiny, no buds
        Ordered 4 arrived mostly safe. One pot was cracked but not too bad. They look healthy and packed well. Though I know they are small but still feel they look so tiny in person. Good thing is they seems grow fast! I can see the growth change every other day. Thinking about buying another 2.

          5 stars. I ordered 4 and they came well packaged and in excellent shape. They have been growing like weeds and I'm excited to transfer them outside in 2wks.

          Update after 2weeks
          The plants looked like dead sticks when I received them. The packaging was stable and very well done for delivery. After fertilization and good watering in a shady area (I followed the direction on the label from the nursery) they started awakening immediately. I thought it was a bit pricy for the size but now I think it’s worth for the healthy plants. And they are growing fast. I might update my review when the flowers come out.

            It was very depressing to see the plant Proven Winners send me. I was excited when I ordered Incrediball hydrangea but was shocked when I saw them. The plant was very small and thin (could have been bit thicker branches) for a 4.5 quart size and I paid around $15. I was expecting quality plants from Proven Winners. I feel sad everytime I look at it. Hopefully it will grow someday. I'm not happy with the plants they shipped and will no longer buy anything from them online.

            Planted 5 of these a year ago- they were maybe 10 inches tall. These year they are HUGE. At least 4 feet and some of the flowers are already bigger than my head! I can’t believe how fast they’ve grown. My favorite part of the backyard!

              I purchased a 1gallon that arrived dead. I wrote a review on that plant that arrived dead and Home Depot contacted me to send me a new plant. Well they did this 2x after my original purchase and all 3 arrived completely DEAD. No life at all with brow or black leaves on the plant. Not sure if its the shipping method in the area but i would not recommend buying these online.

                Don't Know
                The Hydrangea was packaged very well But when I opened the box I was shocked of how it looks I watered it very well then after a soaking rain planted it I plan on mulching in a few days As you can see from the picture it looks weak But hoping it will pick up and grow and live I love hydrangea bushes Looks like it was trimmed back Will know more later

                Hi Christmas2,

                We are sorry to hear that your plant did not appear in good health when you received it. Occasionally, plants are stressed during shipping. Our hydrangeas are very resilient. Please contact our hotline at (734) 654- 7485 so we may send you some fertilizer to help perk it back up.

                Best regards,

                Fallon

                Hi Mark -- Thank you for your review. All of our shrubs are shipping dormant currently (bare, no leaves or leaves falling off) since we are located in Michigan and our temps are below freezing at night! If you believe this is not the case or it does not wake up in the spring, please reach out to us at helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com so we can make this right for you! Kind Regards, Cori at Proven Winners Direct

                The five smooth hydrangeas arrived quickly and safely, well packaged... are in the ground and doing very well. Beautiful, healthy plants.

                plant came a little shriveled, but perked up after planting and is doing well--so far. People should know that Home Depot plants bought online are not coming from the store, but from a midwest nursery.

                  Worst purchase I've ever made on line! The plants did not come from Home Depot site but a Michigan Bulb Nursery in Michigan (my order was over $200.00) I've been gardening for over 60 years and I've never seen such puny looking hydrangeas ! I'll stick with on site at Home Depot where I've always been more than pleased with all of their flowers.
