Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ – Spectacular White Mophead Blooms with a Graceful Rounded Shape

Hydrangea arborescens ‘Annabelle’ is a beloved deciduous shrub celebrated for its enormous, creamy white flower heads that appear from mid to late summer, creating a spectacular display of pure, soft colour. The mophead blooms can reach impressive sizes, sometimes up to 30cm across, forming eye-catching clusters that brighten any garden.

Growing to around 1.2–1.5 metres tall and wide, ‘Annabelle’ develops a broad, rounded habit with large, dark green leaves that provide a lush backdrop to the striking flowers. Its sturdy stems help support the heavy blooms, reducing the need for staking.
