Established 5 Litre Hydrangea Arborescens Incrediball 'Strong Annabelle' : This is a relatively new introduction to the Hydrangea family whilst closely related to the more well-known Hydrangea Annabelle, what makes this plant different is the sturdy upright stems that hold the huge flower heads in place as it matures the flower heads are upright and pronounced and rarely flop over even when the flowers reach full maturity and size which can be in excess of 30cm. These plants are already established and will give a dazzling flower display this summer.

Pruning: Remove faded flower heads in spring after the frosts have passed, cut back the stems to approximately 2cm above a strong pair of buds and remove any misplaced or diseased branches.
In hot weather ensure the plant gets a thorough soaking to prevent the roots drying out. Mulch plants with well rotted manure or compost in early spring.
When should I prune back my Hydrangea:
We suggest waiting until Febrary/March when the frosts have gone. The dead flower heads will protect the plant over the winter months. When the frosts have finished cut it back by approximately a quarter and remove any weak or frost damaged shoots to the healthy wood.
