Annabelle Hydrangea

An extraordinary white flowering deciduous shrub that can be pruned heavily and endure severe winter temperatures.

With no care this hydrangea blooms profusely every year.

Annabelle may sound delicate by name, but this hydrangea is a real performer.

It's so tough, it thrives from south Florida and California all the way to Minnesota.

In the south, plant where Annabelle gets a little afternoon shade. In the north Annabelle may be planted in full sun.

A compact, fast-growing shrub, Annabelle Hydrangea works well mixed with other colors of hydrangea.

Plant it along your front walk or against an east-facing foundation. The 10-inch diameter blossoms are thrilling in your garden and in cut bouquets.

Annabelle Hydrangea blooms from midsummer through first frost.

Although not necessary, pruning back 2 to 3 feet in winter will keep the heads of these heavy flowers from drooping too much.
