Smooth hydrangeas are beloved for their big, fluffy blooms and easy-care nature. But for years, gardeners have had to accept one major flaw: flopping. Heavy flowers and weak stems often mean plants that collapse after rain or wind.

But Incrediball Storm Proof™ smooth hydrangea changes everything.

Bred to outperform every other ‘Annabelle’-type hydrangea, Incrediball Storm Proof delivers the classic snowball blooms gardeners love, backed by unmatched strength and flower power. Its thick, sturdy stems hold massive blooms upright, even through fierce storms, so plants stay full, neat, and beautiful all season long.

But strength is only part of the story.

Incrediball Storm Proof hydrangea also sets a new standard for pollinator value. Its blooms contain dramatically more fertile florets than typical smooth hydrangeas, making it a magnet for bees and other beneficial pollinators throughout the summer. Few shrubs offer this combination of show-stopping beauty and real ecological benefit.
