Hydrangea 'Annabelle' Hydrangea 'Invincibelle Spirit'

Annabelle is the best known variety of Hydrangea arborescens. Annabelle is a stunning white hydrangea, often producing heads over 10" in diameter. Unlike the better known blue and pink hydrangeas (macrophyllas), Annabelle blooms every year even after severe pruning or intensely cold winters. The huge, white "drumstick" blooms appear in profusion without fail. Some people plant 'Annabelle' as a hedge since it can be cut back severely in the winter for a tidy effect.

This Proven Winner is the pink flowering form of Annabelle. It is a rebloomer from summer to frost. Pink Mophead makes an excellent cut flower.  Grows 3-4’ tall. For each Invincibelle® Spirit sold, $1.00 will be sent to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation®. Zones 3-9
