Cold climate gardeners, rejoice: there's finally a purple hydrangea for you! Introducing Invincibelle Mini Mauvette® hydrangea - it's unlike anything that's ever come before. Why? Well, it blooms every single year, even in cold climates and is impervious to bad pruning. It's the same type of hydrangea as the classic and much-loved 'Annabelle' but instead of plain white blooms, the flowers are a deep pink-mauve, and they're held up on strong, sturdy stems that don't flop. The show begins in early summer and because Invincibelle Mini Mauvette is a rebloomer, it continues clear through frost for an endless supply of flowers for the landscape or vase (both fresh and dried!). Top reasons to grow Invincibelle Mini Mauvette hydrangea: 1. Blooms ever year, even in chilly USDA zone 4. 2. Strong stems hold the beautiful, unique pink-mauve blooms upright all season. 3. Dwarf habit makes it perfect for any sized landscape.

Pros
- Profuse, giant white pom pom or lacecap flowers (great cut fresh or dried)
- Prefer part shade
- Easy to prune - just cut back to 6-8 inches above the soil each winter and watch this plant start fresh each spring!
- Flower on new wood, enabling them to bloom after unseasonably cold weather
|
Cons
- Require quite a lot of water and will show their displeasure at being thirsty by pervasive leaf wilt
- Need at least a few hours of sunlight a day to put forth blooms
- Start each year pretty much from scratch
- Because the tender stems are near the ground, can be vulnerable to rabbits.
