This plant is available for pre-order, with spring 2026 delivery. Comes in 4" pot.
 
Incrediball Storm Proof™ is the next evolution of the beloved smooth hydrangeas—built on native Hydrangea arborescens genetics for unbeatable durability, hardiness, and disease resistance. This new selection features extra-thick, storm-tough stems that stay upright even under heavy summer rains. Massive white flower heads appear reliably every year because it blooms on new wood, and once mature, the shrub becomes deer resistant—a huge advantage for rural and suburban gardeners alike. A powerhouse performer with classic beauty.
