The snowball hydrangea is a large ornamental shrub with enchanting flowers
The Annabel hydrangea is one of the most striking members of the hydrangea family with its opulent flowers. The Annabel is one of the most spectacular hydrangeas in our gardens. This hydrangea is not only beautiful, but also very uncomplicated. The special feature of this hydrangea is the large white globular flowers. This ornamental shrub is a fantastic eye-catcher. Like all woodland hydrangeas, the graceful flowers originate from Asia. They have long since conquered a regular place in our gardens. With their large globe flowers, Annabelle hydrangeas exude a romantic flair.
When buying hydrangeas, choose Annabelle hydrangeas!
The Ball Hydrangea blooms from June to September. At first, the snowball hydrangea presents itself with greenish-white semi-flat flowers. When they open they turn creamy white and develop into balls of flowers. These grow to around 25 centimetres tall. The large foliage leaves are oval and highlight the white of the flowers perfectly. The leaves grow to about 15 centimetres long. Hydrangeas are hardy and summergreen.
The snowball hydrangea will adorn any garden
The Annabel hydrangea grows upright and grows between 100 and 150 centimetres tall. The Ball Hydrangea grows compact and bushy. It is an excellent specimen plant and is very convincing in a group. A sunny to semi-shady position and fresh, well-drained and nutrient-rich soil is ideal. Especially at flowering time, the Annabel hydrangea needs more water and is happy to receive regular watering in the morning and evening. The flowers are breathtaking due to their size and cannot be overlooked. They not only enhance the romantic cottage garden, but also blend into modern city gardens or Asian-inspired gardens. This uncomplicated shrub can be easily planted in any location. Even in a planter, the hydrangea is an eye-catcher on the terrace or balcony. In combination with lavender and groundcover roses the snowball hydrangea can't be topped!
The Ball Hydrangea is decorative all year round!
The full flowers of the Annabel hydrangea stand upright and bend over time due to their weight. To prevent them from breaking off or bending too far forward after rainfall, you should support the snowball hydrangea with planting stakes or a trellis. This makes the view of the flower bush all the more beautiful. This is not only convincing in summer, but is also an eye-catcher in autumn and throughout the winter. Simply leave the faded and dry flower stalks until spring. They are decorative and add structure to the garden. In early spring, cut back the shoots of the Annabelle hydrangea to ground level. The ornamental shrub will sprout again and delight you for many years to come.
