Like Annabelle hydrangea, it is a cultivar of the smooth hydrangea (<em>Hydrangea arborescens<\/em>) that is hardy and flowers on new wood, but Incrediball has stronger branches and bigger flower heads than the Annabelle. The cultivar name is &#8216;Abetwo,&#8217; while &#8220;Incrediball&#8221;\u2014notably, not &#8220;incredible&#8221;\u2014is a trademark name. &#8220;Incrediball&#8221; was presumably chosen as the name to trumpet the impressive size (up to 12 inches) of the &#8220;balls&#8221; of flowers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-2\">Incrediball hydrangea plants can be used in the landscape in a number of ways. These shrubs have broad rounded, sharply toothed, dark green leaves and are attractive enough to be used singly as&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/what-is-a-specimen-tree-5214547\">specimen plants<\/a>. Some gardeners choose to grow them en masse along a property line to form a border, while others include them in&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/foundation-plantings-basics-2132430\">foundation plantings<\/a>. Their shade-tolerance makes them suitable for woodland gardens, although they produce larger flower heads in full sun than in partial shade. Incrediball hydrangeas are&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thespruce.com\/plants-that-attract-butterflies-2132159\">plants that attract butterflies<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-4\">These shrubs are considered fast-growing and are typically planted in fall. In favorable conditions, they can be expected to live for 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_1-0-6\">Hydrangeas contain hydrangin, which is toxic to humans<sup>1<\/sup>, and toxic to dogs, cats, and horses<\/p>\n<a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox\" data-provider=\"facebook\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/facebook\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Facebook\" title=\"Follow us on Facebook\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/avantgardener.gr\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/medal\/64x64\/facebook.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox\" data-provider=\"twitter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/twitter\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"twitter\" title=\"Follow us on Twitter\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/avantgardener.gr\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/medal\/64x64\/twitter.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-youtube nolightbox\" data-provider=\"youtube\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Find us on YouTube\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/MyYouTubeName\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"youtube\" title=\"Find us on YouTube\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/avantgardener.gr\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/medal\/64x64\/youtube.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-instagram nolightbox\" data-provider=\"instagram\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Check out our instagram feed\" href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/myusername\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px;margin-right:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"instagram\" title=\"Check out our instagram feed\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/avantgardener.gr\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/medal\/64x64\/instagram.png\" \/><\/a><a class=\"synved-social-button synved-social-button-follow synved-social-size-32 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-mail nolightbox\" data-provider=\"mail\" rel=\"nofollow\" title=\"Contact Us\" href=\"mailto:mail@example.com?subject=Contact%20Request\" style=\"font-size: 0px;width:32px;height:32px;margin:0;margin-bottom:5px\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"mail\" title=\"Contact Us\" class=\"synved-share-image synved-social-image synved-social-image-follow\" width=\"32\" height=\"32\" style=\"display: inline;width:32px;height:32px;margin: 0;padding: 0;border: none;box-shadow: none\" src=\"http:\/\/avantgardener.gr\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-media-feather\/synved-social\/addons\/extra-icons\/image\/social\/medal\/64x64\/mail.png\" \/><\/a>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Incrediball\u00ae hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens&nbsp;&#8216;Abetwo&#8217; Incrediball) is a&nbsp;broadleaf,&nbsp;deciduous&nbsp;flowering shrub.
