How To Use Hydrangea Arborescens Invincibelle Pink Annabelle

Pink Annabelle can be grown very successfully in deep pots on the patio too, preferring ericaceous compost. Use her as a one off show-stopper or as matching bookends for an archway or door.

How To Care For Hydrangea Arborescens Invincibelle Pink Annabelle
Pink Annabelle prefers a sunny to semi-shade position and good quality soil. Soil does not change her blooms as with other hydrangeas, so dig in lots of well-rotted organic matter before planting out, ensuring it’s well mixed with the surrounding soil. 
It’s not necessary to feed Pink Annabelle and try to avoid overwatering her because the extra nutrients can make the flowers grow so large that the branches cannot support their weight. A yearly mulch or compost is sufficient. 
If Pink Annabelle becomes too large or you need to maintain her size, prune back excess branches after flowering has finished. This cultivar blooms on new wood, unlike other hydrangeas that blooms on the previous year so don’t be afraid to prune back hard. 

Pink Annabelle is high-impact low-effort plant that deserves a space in every garden.  If you’re a lover of pink flowers Pink Annabelle is set to become your new garden favourite.
