Large Blooms All Summer

Why Annabelle Hydrangea Shrubs?

Putting on an outstanding show of gigantic flowers, the Annabelle Hydrangea is well worthy of any location in your landscape. In fact, it's got huge blooms the size of softballs, creating a one-of-a-kind ornamental look that's second to none.

With blooms the size of softballs, this ornamental shrub is not your typical hydrangea.

Climbing to a manageable mature height yet producing show-stopping blooms, the Annabelle's flowers are the biggest and most noticeable among the species. The Annabelle's countless, soft white petals make an awesome display against the green leaves and sturdy stems that support its massive flower heads.

Annabelle's beauty begins in June and will grace your garden with showers of elegant bouquets all summer long. Late in the season, the whole process starts again with a second bloom that will make it feel like summer's just beginning.

Jumbos are ideal for creating immediate privacy and adding fullness to your garden beds without the wait.

Looks good so far!

Came a little stressed but perked back up once it got some soil, sun and water.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertWe're thrilled your Annabelle Hydrangea recovered so well, Scott! A little transplant stress is expected, but the quick turnaround once it got soil, sun, and water shows your plant is resilient. It's going to look fantastic as it establishes. Thanks for the positive update!

Good quality

They came quickly and bigger than expected. I hope they are just in shock, as they are struggling a bit, but I'll keep working with them.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertThanks so much for choosing us, Chesea! We're glad they arrived quickly and bigger than expected. Transplant shock is totally normal after that move, and Annabelle hydrangeas are tough plants that bounce back really well. Right now, focus on deep, consistent watering to keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged. A bit of afternoon shade for the first week or two will help ease the stress. Skip fertilizer for now and let those roots settle in. You should see improvement in 2 to 6 weeks!
