Invincibelle Sublime® Hydrangea

Choose Invincibelle Sublime if you want a native smooth hydrangea with unusual lime-green and pink blooms on stems strong enough to actually hold them up. Main reason: reliable new-wood bloom with a distinctive two-tone flower. Tradeoff: it needs room (3.5–5 ft) and it won’t give you a classic white mophead or a blue color.

PGNE Report Card

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd steer this toward gardeners who want something beyond the usual white Annabelle-type hydrangea. The sturdy stems are the real upgrade — they hold the big blooms upright instead of flopping after rain. Give it room, keep it watered during dry spells, and cut it back in early spring.

Plant Facts

Customers Usually Ask

What color are the flowers?

Lime-green sepals with bright pink fertile centers that shift through the season — not a white or blue mophead.

Do the stems flop?

No — the sturdy stems are its selling point, holding the large blooms up better than older smooth hydrangeas.

Does it bloom every year?

Yes, it blooms on new wood, so winter dieback doesn't cost you flowers. Cut it back in early spring.
