Annabelle hydrangeas are relatively easy to care for. They prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are also tolerant of drought once established. Annabelle hydrangeas can be propagated by division or cuttings.
To care for an Annabelle hydrangea, water it regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the plant in the spring with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the plant in the late winter or early spring, before new growth begins. To prune an Annabelle hydrangea, cut the stems back to 6-12 inches from the ground. This will encourage the plant to produce new growth and more flowers.
Annabelle hydrangeas are a beautiful and versatile addition to any landscape. They can be used as accent plants, in foundation plantings, or as hedges and privacy screens. Annabelle hydrangeas are also a popular choice for cut flowers.

The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
