Invincibelle Nearing $1M

Jennifer Polanz

Since introducing Invincibelle Spirit Hydrangea in 2009, sales have gone to raise funds for The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. At the end of last year, those funds reached more than $900,000, inching closer to the $1 million goal. In addition to donating $1 for every plant sold, it serves as the foundation for hundreds of Pink Day fundraisers hosted at garden centers across the United States and Canada.

New to the campaign in 2015 was the introduction of Invincibelle Spirit II Hydrangea. This new variety improves upon the original Invincibelle Spirit while continuing the legacy of donating $1 from each plant sold to BCRF. From the continued H. arborescens breeding of Tom Ranney, this new hydrangea improves upon the original with brighter flower color, stronger stems and superior container presentation. Like its predecessor, Invincibelle Spirit II Hydrangea is a reliable rebloomer that’s bred to perform from Manitoba to Mobile. GP
