Q:None of your descriptions say whether the hydrangeas bloom on new or old wood. This is important to know as if they bloom on new wood they will droop to the ground with the first heavy rain, and the show is over!

            A:  Hello Imer, thank you for asking. We are happy to help. You will want to pant after the threat of frost has passed for your area. You can find that information by calling a local garden center. I hope this helps! If you have any questions please feel free to reach out to us at (734)654-7485 or helpdesk@provenwinnersdirect.com.

                  A:  Plant died time a planted it. It was very disappointing.

                  by|Sep 12, 2021

                    A:  Hi Twink, Thanks for asking! Proven Winners Incrediball Hydrangeas are great for fall planting! As long as you still have at least 6-8 weeks before your first frost, they will be so happy to be planted in the ground! If you'd like to over-winter them in a container, we recommend planting in a pot that is at least double the size of the nursery container the plant came in. I hope this helps! If you have any additional questions, please always feel free to reach out to us at helpdesk@provenwinnersidrect.com or (734) 654-7485. Happy Planting! Nikki

                        I love my Incrediball hyrdrangeas! They are a true show stopper! They do need their water in hot temperatures but are pretty forgiving.

                          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.
