Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'
A striking, deciduous shrub known for its massive, rounded clusters of delicate white flowers. These flowerheads can grow up to 30cm in diameter, creating a soft, billowy appearance that contrasts beautifully with the plant’s dark green, oval-shaped leaves. 'Annabelle' blooms prolifically in summer, and as the flowers mature, they gradually transition from pure white to a soft green hue, extending their visual appeal well into the season. Warners have dedicated decades to growing and perfecting the best selection of Hydrangeas, ensuring you receive the finest and most vibrant varieties to enhance your garden.
Cultural
Thrives in a part-shade position, protected from harsh sun and strong winds. Prefers rich, porous, and consistently moist soil to perform at its best. After flowering, it is ideal to deadhead and prune to maintain its shape; if necessary, it can be cut back quite hard without harm. For optimal growth, feed with an organic slow-release fertiliser in late spring. Unlike coloured varieties, white Hydrangeas will maintain their colour regardless of soil pH.

Landscape Uses
Hydrangeas, with their large, showy blooms, make stunning focal points in garden beds and borders. Compact varieties thrive in large pots, making them perfect for adding beauty to patios, balconies, or courtyards. Their long-lasting, vibrant flowers are ideal for cutting and displaying indoors, and they are especially popular for wedding displays and floral arrangements. Perfect for both cottage and formal gardens, Hydrangeas pair beautifully with other traditional favourites like Camellias, Magnolias, and Azaleas.
