I don't know this exact one, but it is fairly early for hydrangeas to be doing much. (Depending on where you are.) Keep it watered and in afternoon shade and it should show signs of life soon, so don't give up on it.

A two-year old bush that vigorous that is just 6 inches tall? Grumpph! Mail order suppliers lying through their teeth again!...Unless they have a really funny definition of two years old, such as, "a two node cutting started 13 months ago in a chilly, shaded greenhouse."

Oh I'm not giving up on it, I just wondered how vigorous these are, I'm a newbie at gardening but keen! I don't think I'll be purchasing by mail order again but I was struck at the huge white flowers it is supposed to produce. There is the tiniest of shoots on it so it should do something.

Hi, I have two of these which I planed last year, they were purchased online and were healthy and in bud when they arrived. I did get a couple of gorgeous flowers on them which lasted for ages. Mine are like yours at the minute, with no sign of life at all, so I am hoping that something will start happening soon.....

Thanks for all your help, time will tell!

Don't give up on mail order altogether, some suppliers are very good. If in doubt sound out other Goyers before you choose.

I agree Steragram, I have purchase quite a lot online and have always got what the description has stated.

hi all , im not so much disagreeing with you but just the other day i was working at a lady's house(whose garden is spectacular btw ) and the postman just literally threw the plug plants towards the door even tho it said fragile. so be wary of whos transporting your goods

Good news! I've noticed some new shoots on this Hydrangea Incrediball!
