Annabelle Smooth Hydrangea 1 Live Flowering Shrub, 3 Gallon – Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’

Annabelle Smooth Hydrangea (Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’) is a deciduous flowering shrub admired for its spectacular, rounded clusters of creamy white flowers. Its large, globe-shaped blooms emerge with soft greenish tones before turning bright white, creating a classic summer garden display. As the flowers age, they may gradually return to pale green. Broad, medium-green leaves provide an attractive backdrop for the abundant blossoms.

This hardy hydrangea develops a naturally rounded, bushy growth habit with arching stems and lush foliage. Flowering primarily from early to late summer, Annabelle produces blooms on new wood, meaning its flower buds develop on the current season's growth. It is particularly attractive in cottage gardens, woodland borders, foundation plantings, mixed shrub beds, and mass landscape plantings. Annabelle performs best in partial shade, although it tolerates full sun in cooler climates when adequate moisture is available. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil with consistent moisture.

Each order includes 1 live Annabelle Smooth Hydrangea shrub supplied in a 3-gallon nursery container (G3). The plant is rooted and container-grown. As a deciduous shrub, Annabelle naturally loses its leaves during fall and enters winter dormancy. Depending on the season, plants may arrive leafless, recently pruned, or without flowers.
