Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' is a stunning shrub known for its large, spherical clusters of small white flowers, reaching up to 30cm across. Blooming from summer through autumn, its bright green, broadly ovate leaves add to its lush appearance. Thriving in moist, well-drained soil, it grows well in full sun or partial shade, though consistent moisture is needed for sun exposure. Can withstand harsh winters. Hydrangea arborescens is native to the eastern United States of America. After being discovered growing naturally in 1910 near Anna, Illinois, Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' was released into commerce in the 1960s by Dr. Joseph C. McDaniel.

Seasonal Colour

FlowerDec–May

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
