Description
Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ is a deciduous, broad-rounded shrub with an open to softly arching habit, typically maturing 3–5 feet tall and wide. It produces exceptionally large, spherical flower heads composed of creamy white florets that appear in early summer and persist for several weeks, often aging to light green. Flowers are borne on new wood, providing reliable blooming even after cold winters or hard pruning. The foliage consists of large, ovate, medium green leaves with a soft texture that creates a lush summer presence. Fall color is minimal and not a primary ornamental feature. This shrub is widely used in foundation plantings, mixed shrub borders, woodland gardens, rain gardens, and mass plantings for bold summer impact.
