'Annabelle' has large white blooms that make it a garden classic. The straight species Smooth hydrangea has more of a lace cap with minimal sterile flowers whereas 'Annabelle' has big sterile flowers to give it more of a mop head look.

Native to moist woodland areas it makes a great option for woodland borders or sites with morning sun and afternoon shade. It grows in a nice rounded shape that usually requires minimal care. This species does bloom on new wood so it can be pruned in spring to rejuvenate it if need be.
