Hydrangea arborescens 'Ruby Annabelle'
- A pink take on the ever-popular 'Annabelle', this variety is a compact superstar, growing to just over a metre in height and proving that bigger doesn't always equal better...
- The spherical magenta blooms sit atop a rich tapestry of toothed green foliage, which really enables their charming summer colour shine as brightly as possible.
- Nice and attractive to butterflies, this wildlife-friendly plant also benefits from having sturdier stems than many other varieties, making the flowers less prone to flopping over.
- Those sturdy stems have an added bonus in that they help make for excellent cut flowers; pair your hydrangea blooms alongside eucalyptus foliage for a chic, contemporary arrangement.
- Suited to patio growing, feature planting and even used as a low shrub in a flowering hedge, this versatile performer is as precious and valuable in the garden as its namesake.

Meet Mike's trusted specialists
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.
