Annabelle Hydrangea
What: A hardy, showy shrub Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ featuring enormous ball-shaped white flower heads in mid to late summer that last for a long time. Best when pruned to the ground in spring as it blooms on new growth.
Best use: Ideal for mass plantings and general garden use, especially in shaded areas where many flowering shrubs won’t thrive. The impressive white blooms make excellent cut flowers, and the dried flower heads provide attractive winter interest.
