Royal Horticultural Society Award of Garden Merit
The Hydrangea 'Annabelle' was discovered in an Anna, Illinois garden and is probably the most recognized and popular of the old-fashioned flowering shrubs grown in gardens throughout the United States. Once the shrub has taken root and begun to flourish, it will produce huge, 12-inch snow white flowers in early summer. The flowers will increase in size all the way into fall. This is one flower that is a must for any garden.
Reaching a height and width of four feet, the Hydrangea 'Annabelle' complements every color in your garden and will never get out of its bounds. The shrub grows best in the shade but will also tolerate humidity and heat. The leaves and flowers are great both fresh and dried. Many people have had success planting the Annabelle for accent planting, bordering, or creating an eye-catching white-and-pink hedge. This native species is very cold-tolerant, unlike most hydrangeas. So, if you live in a region with cold seasons, this is the flower for you.
