Hydrangea arborescens ‘Ruby Annabelle’ Description

Hydrangea arborescens ‘Ruby Annabelle’ produces rounded flower heads in deep ruby, raspberry and rich pink shades above broad green leaves. The flowers develop on fresh stems during summer and gradually soften in colour as they mature. Plants generally reach around 1 to 1.2 metres high and wide, forming a dense rounded shrub suitable for mixed borders and large containers. Grow in partial shade or gentle sun in fertile, humus-rich soil that remains consistently moist but drains freely. It is fully hardy and well suited to Ireland. Because flowering occurs on new wood, old stems can be shortened in late winter or early spring without sacrificing the summer display. Regular watering and an annual mulch help maintain strong growth and prevent wilting during warm, dry weather.
