Hydrangea arborescens 'Pink Annabelle'
- A pink variation on the ever-popular 'Annabelle', this cultivar produces an abundance of rounded blooms in summer, painting the garden with great swathes of candy pink.
- The large flowers, measuring up to 20cm across each, are held against a backdrop of rich foliage, with each green leaf also measuring up to 20cm long.
- Perfect for a flowering hedge or to star as a feature shrub in a border, 'Pink Annabelle' is also suitable for coastal and exposed locations, thanks to its salt tolerance and hardiness (RHS H6).
- An excellent option for cut flowers, pair your hydrangea with roses, peonies and ferns for an added touch of greenery.
- With their fondness for soil that doesn't dry out and partial shade, hydrangeas like this one make for excellent woodland garden plants; plant alongside hostas, heucheras and astilbes to create a truly magical glade.

Start with a touch of continental sun
Over 99% of our plants are grown in the UK, but where that’s not possible, Mike sources the best specialist growers in Europe for the job. Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the Cotswolds, to toughen them up for UK gardens.
