Overview

The most recent addition to the popular 'Annabelle' series, and just like the others, this one has characteristically strong stems and large flowerheads. The difference, however, is the colour of the flowers. The backs of the petals are a rich shade of raspberry, so when the flowers are just starting to unfurl from bud, the overall impression is of quite a strong pink, however as the upper surface of the petals is paler, the overall colouring is softer when the flowers have opened fully. Over the course of the summer the colour becomes even paler, and eventually the big heads take on a green hue. The flowers form on both new and old wood, which means that the plant can bloom for a really long period from early summer. This makes it an invaluable addition to the mixed or shrub border - as well as a large patio pot.

Care guide

Hydrangeas do not like to dry out. In dry weather, soak the roots with a hose and the plant will usually recover. Remove faded flowerheads in spring after the danger of frosts, cutting back the flowered stems to a strong pair of buds. Take out misplaced or diseased shoots. Mulch young plants with a well-rotted manure or compost in spring. Once established, remove a quarter to a third of the shoots to the base of the plant.

Warning

Humans: Skin allergen; Pets: Harmful if eaten

How your order will arrive

Pots and Packaging
Larger pots (2L and above) are wrapped in waxed paper and then attached to a cardboard base so they stay stable in the box. The waxed paper prevents the compost from spilling out and gives the base some added protection from damp compost. For large numbers of plants, pallets may be used for shipping.

Preparation
The nursery will ensure the plant is moist while it's waiting to be picked up. Our quality control team waters the plant before packing them where necessary to make sure that the plant is suitably watered for transport. Plants with long delicate stems are secured with canes to prevent damage.

Plant on Arrival
Typically plants are delivered ready to plant and will take some time to settle, grow and look more like the product image above.
