Hydrangea arborescens 'Sweet Annabelle'
- Taking the billowing spherical blooms and strong stems of perennial fan-favourite 'Annabelle', 'Sweet Annabelle' has the distinction of boasting pink flowers rather than white!
- Growing to an ultimate height of just over one metre, this hydrangea is compact enough to grow in a pot, but looks just as good planted in beds, borders or even an informormal flowering hedge.
- 'Sweet Annabelle' sports a lovely long flowering season, starting out in July and continuously blooming right through until early October. The petals fade to a pale pastel pink with time.
- The sturdy stems make for excellent cut flowers; why not try pairing your hydrangea flowers with some ferns and foxgloves for a lovely mixed arrangement.
- Fully hardy, easy to grow and salt-tolerant, this variety is an excellent choice for coastal gardens, woodland edge gardens and smaller patio gardens.

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.
