A popular and reliable shrub with large, white flowers that age to a soft green. An 'Annabelle' with stronger stems! Massive white blooms emerge lime-green, changing to white and aging to green. Even when moistened by rain, flower heads remain erect. Will flower on both new and old wood, and bloom time is midsummer to frost.

Caring for Hydrangea arborescens involves providing it with the right growing conditions and regular maintenance. This deciduous shrub thrives in partial shade to full sun and prefers moist, well-draining soil. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil evenly moist. Apply a layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune the shrub in late winter or early spring, cutting back the old wood to promote new growth and ensure a compact shape. Pruning won't affect its ability to flower. Fertilize the plant in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Protect the plant from strong winds, as they can cause the large flower heads to droop. With proper care, your Hydrangea arborescens will produce beautiful, rounded clusters of white flowers and enhance the beauty of your garden or landscape.
