The Plant




		Now the reliable hydrangea everyone loves comes in pink! Invincibelle Spirit is hardy, easy to grow, and blooms each year, regardless of pruning techniques or extreme weather. Unlike many other hydrangeas, the species blooms on new wood, so it develops flowers even if killed to the ground from harsh winters. It blooms continuously, producing new flowers from early summer (May/June) right up through frost. The species is adaptable to many soil types, can be grown in full sun to partial shade, and requires minimal maintenance to keep it looking great. The flowers emerge a bright, hot pink, and mature to a light, soft pink. Plant description and growing tips	Hydrangea arborescens 'NCHA1' ppaf, cbraf

		The Cause Breast cancer affects everyone. It threatens our mothers and sisters, friends and daughters, grandmothers and wives. The National Cancer Institute estimates 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer during their lifetime. People everywhere are uniting to take a stand against breast cancer through the Invincibelle® Spirit hydrangea. Together we can raise $1 million to empower The Breast Cancer Research Foundation in its mission of finding a cure within our lifetimes. Be on the lookout for Pink Day fundraising events at garden centers across the country to help raise money for breast cancer research. Find a Pink Day near you.
