‘Annabelle’ is a classic smooth hydrangea known for its enormous, rounded flower heads and dependable performance in a wide range of garden conditions. Blooming from early to mid-summer, this cultivar produces large, snowball-like clusters of pure white flowers that can reach up to 10 inches across. As the season progresses, the blooms often take on a soft green tint before fading, adding interest well into late summer.

This deciduous shrub grows 3 to 5 feet tall and wide, forming a rounded, bushy habit with strong stems that have been improved in modern selections to better support the weight of the blooms. Annabelle thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates a variety of soils, making it a versatile choice for borders, mass plantings, or naturalized areas.
