Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'
Annabelle Hydrangea Zones: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
'Annabelle' inherits its preference for shade and good soil from its parent the Smooth Hydrangea but it is different in two important characteristics. Its mid- to-late summer, rounded flower clusters are much larger growing up to 8" in diameter forming beautiful (non-fragrant) huge snowballs. And the stems are shorter, stiffer, and more upright but while in flower, moisture can weight down the flowers - staking might be a good idea. To really make it bushy and stouter, cut the plant to the ground in late winter, then give it a light fertilizing in the spring. This will produce strong stems and even more beautiful flowers in the summer. Use this shrub in masses in a moist shaded spot for a beautiful summer display. Cat# 1469
