Invincibelle Wee White^® Smooth hydrangea Hydrangea arborescens

I purchased two of these about 3 years ago, During the first year, one died. I tried to save it. After having a problem with the first one that I planted in the ground, I was hesitant to plant the other one. Instead, I increased pot size when needed and planted in early fall. This one made it but it struggled at times in the pot. The following spring arrived and I was excited to see how this hydrangea would perform. I was not impressed at all. After a summer of a couple blooms and barely any growth, I moved it in the fall. I was taking a risk but at this point I was determined to get this plant going. After the move,, the following year it performed better and this past season it really started growing in the late summer, We had a lot of rain, too much.. I believe it caused problems with a lot of plants, low bloom counts and size along with rot problems for some species that were young/not established or less tolerant of constant moist soil. However, this hydrangea finally took off late summer when the constant rainy days ended. It had about 15 blooms in late fall and kept producing blooms until the weather got too cold. I live in zone 6b, Boston area. The fall blooms for hydrangeas usually don’t put on the best show, they typically bloom some and the others don’t make it due to the cold weather.. So, I will have to update my review of Wee White (The blooms are not as white as shown/advertised and they also seem smaller then specified. I know the more blooms, the smaller the bloom. Although, it was fall. Next spring/summer I will give another review. I wish I could post pictures because I take pictures of my garden and all new flowers to have in case a plant doesn’t make it due to the health upon arrival. I have to mention that Bluestone Perennials does honor what they say. Anytime, I had an issue with a plant from them, I was shipped a replacement plant and usually more then one. They shipped me three campanula birch hybrids two seasons after purchasing them because I commented on Pinterest that they were not performing as advertised. A few days later, I received an e-mail from them informing me that they were sorry to hear about my experience with them and will send me replacement plants in the Spring. Sure enough come the Spring and three Campanula Birch Hybrids were at my front door. I highly recommend them. However, if you are looking for roses they don’t sell them. I would recommend Jackson & Perkins for roses. When it comes to roses, J&P most likely has it or a partner company will have it.

Improve this variety Invincibelle Wee White® 2.0 Hydrangea ! I believe in you, you can do it, you are the best in the world!

Like many others, I ordered three of these, and am greatly disappointed. Blooms burn out so fast the shrub just looks like brush. Debating what to do about them.

I purchased 3 Wee Whites 3 years ago. I am very happy with them - they are just the look I was going for. They probably get 6 hours of sun. What I've discovered (for my garden) is that I need to be sure they are getting enough water and that they have enough mulch to keep their shallow root systems cool. Otherwise. I will definitely get scorching - which is not pretty and makes for a disappointing season when they are so pretty otherwise. Also, for my situation (soil, light, zone...), they take a little while to get to that pretty white (though they're never as white as say, my Mock Orange bush), but they get there, and I will be purchasing additional sweet Wee Whites.

I have 7 wee whites planted in full sun and two wee whites planted in an area that gets more shade (3-4 hrs per day). None of the wee whites are as advertised. The 7 in full sun are a cream color and the blooms burned up very fast. So now I have wee tans. The two planted in the shadier spot are more like wee limes. It is only late June, so maybe I need to give it time……maybe, let’s hope.
