Suttons Hardy Garden Outdoor Hydrangea Arborescens Flower ‘Strong Annabelle’

Description

As its name suggests, Hydrangea arborescens 'Strong Annabelle' is a sturdier cultivar of the well-loved 'Hydrangea 'Annabelle'. The enormous, rounded heads of white florets stand proud on the strong stems of this deciduous shrub, even in exposed positions. Unlike many Hydrangea arborescens varieties, this well branched Hydrangea rarely flops due to its well branched, compact growth habit. A superb specimen for a shaded border or woodland garden.

How to Grow

Hydrangea arborescens prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any non-alkaline, fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well-rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply.
Leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds swell in spring to protect the delicate buds from frost damage. Prune after flowering, reducing the stems to restrict their growth to the available space and to improve the shape of the plant. After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well-rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant.
