How to Grow
Light: Most varieties tolerate full sun in the North, but benefit from afternoon shade and consistent moisture. In the South, plants require afternoon shade.
Water: Water to keep soil moist, but not wet.
Spacing: 2-3 feet
Fertilizing: Fertilize once in spring with a fertilizer designed to encourage blooms, such as a rose fertilizer.
Winterizing: Remove fallen foliage and add a 2-3" layer of shredded bark mulch to conserve moisture and prevent cold damage to the roots.
Maintenance & Pruning: Blooms on new wood, which means that the plant creates its flower buds only once it has started leafing out in spring. This means it can be pruned in spring and still flower. We recommend cutting back by one-third its total length in early spring.
Plant spacing is based on the ultimate width of the plants. This figure is normally given as a range; for example, 3-5’. If you live in a cold climate and/or want plants to fill in more quickly, plan to space at the shorter end of the range. If you live in a warm climate, are on a limited budget, or are willing to wait longer for plants to touch, use the higher end of the range. Using the larger number is recommended when calculating distance from a building or structure. There’s really no such thing as "maximum spacing": if you don’t want your plants to touch, you can space them as far apart as you’d like. All plant spacing is calculated on center, or in other words, the centers of the plants are spaced one half of their eventual width apart:
Unless you are planting in a straight line, as you might for hedges or edging, space your plants in a staggered or zig-zag pattern for a more interesting and naturalistic look:
Not sure just how many plants will fit in your garden? Our calculator gives you the exact amount of plants required for your space. Simply update the values and the calculator will re-calculate accordingly. Spacing information can be found in the 'How to Grow' tab on each plant's page.
Arrived and after rehydrated is doing well
Purchases these Oct 2021. This spring the really filled out. I am very pleased with this purchase.
I live in central Arkansas.
Very small plant. Planted in same location as thriving wee white. Any leaves on arrival dropped within a day and then just dead looking twigs ever since and now I cannot even see any type of notable branches or leaves. My other wee white from a big box store has leafed out and has buds. The cheap price is tempting but you get what you pay for and will end spending even more replacing your plants. I feel like something affected everything in my shipment box because only 5 of the 19 plants I purchased appear alive with growth. Plants purchased elsewhere planted at same time are thriving. Maybe don’t purchase too much at once

The first shipment arrived with the plant in bad shape, with many dead and shriveled leaves, many already turning black. When I requested a replacement it was sent right away, which I appreciate. But the second arrived in worse condition than the first and has since succumbed. The first one is still hanging on, but i am giving it a lot of TLC. I am an experienced gardener and followed the care instructions that came with the plants exactly. I am sorry to say that I will not be a future customer.

Plant arrived in good condition
It was about four days before I got the Wee whites planted. Within four to five days they had grown significantly. I am very pleased with them. Thank you
4 plants arrived in good shape. They have been in the ground for a week. three are doing well. One shows very little growth. some leaves damaged
Brilliantly packaged. I needed to return my first plants, I believe they got too hot. The second batch came in much better condition. Fast customer service
Absolutely gorgeous! Was a little slow to to start flowering, but then exploded with the most beautiful green tinged white flowers almost overnight. By far my favorite garden addition of the year!
I was so excited to receive these plants in the mail. Once they delivered, I was a bit disappointed in the size of the plant, but the plant was at least green and had great potential. I planted in the ground in a very shady spot which only recieved about two to four hours of direct sun. I watered them appropriately ensuring the soil didnt get too dry and in less than two weeks, the plants started dying. I was so distraught that I pulled the plants back out of the ground, placed them back in their pots and placed them under my patio. I still havent had any luck with getting them to revive.

The plants arrived healthy with new growth. Although these are quart sized, the plants are a good size. Fingers crossed they like their new home!
Ok, was not originally happy with my order—the wee whites looked really beat down. Happily they rebounded super quickly and are thriving. Glad I am able to adjust my original perception. Deducted a star for the “cost to plant size” ratio. To my mind a bit expensive for the maturity level of the plants received.
Packaged well. Shipped fast. Plant looks healthy. I cant wait to see it grow!
I was very pleased to see how well the plant was packaged. I was also pleased at how large it was. It is growing nicely and appears very healthy. I would buy from this grower again.
Invincibelle Wee Whites don't get enough attention — they're a sturdy, adorable little shrub. (I have over a dozen.) I love Annabelle hydrangeas, and Wee Whites offer that rounded mophead look for small spaces. (Note that unlike Annabelle, Wee White flowers emerge a blush white and mature to creamy white.) They look great in groups, and the blooms last a long time. They'll likely flower the first season, but they really start to take off the second year. Planted in sun/part sun zone 5b/6a.
Bought 2 hydrangeas that arrived with box intact but 1 of the plants is on life support and the other looks great. Could be related to the blistering Midwest summer this year. Hoping for the best

Invincibelle Wee White® Smooth Hydrangea
The plants were fresh when I received, however, when I planted the two into the ground one began to shrivvle up and the other appears to be more healthier, e few of the leaves are trying to brown on the tips.

Arrived in great condition, planted and thriving!
The two hydrangeas I ordered arrived in excellent condition and have thrived. I uppotted them on arrival and waited to see how they grew.
I uppotted them again to their permanent location in large pots and they are awesome. I cannot wait to see them in bloom.
I ordered one of the new Cascade hydrangeas and hope it arrives fast. I am eager to see how it does.

Beautiful. So far so good!
Our plants arrived healthy and in great shape. They are all blooming and doing well. I would buy here again.
The 5 shrubs I received were in excellent condition and the size specified was spot on. Very, very happy with this purchase.
