Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle'
A spectacular flowering shrub with a bushy but rather untidy habit. The leaves are bright green and soft. Extremely large heads of cream flowers through the summer. Heads tend to droop while the plant is still young. It prefers semi-shade and shelter from wind. Very hardy though does not thrive in dry conditions. Best to thin the stems out in winter if they get too crowded in.
