My Order 1 people found this helpfulI purchased 9 Annabelle plants about 2 months ago. I received them and they were packed well. Only one was a drooper. I planted all 9 and today they look super nice. I am excited to see them bloom this summer. I have them along the front of the house. I check them every 2 or 3 days. Thank you for a great purchase.

Very Healthy 0 people found this helpfulI love Annabelle Hydrangeas, but find them expensive. I have been wanting to plant a hedge with them and needed to buy 12. I ordered and planted these last fall. I was a bit taken aback with how small the plant was when I received it. It is just a young plant. Nothing wrong with it. They looked great after planting and have at least tripled in size this year. I am very pleased with this purchase. I definitely recommend.

Super, Easy, Dependable, and Floriferous! 0 people found this helpfulThis hydrangea is easy to care for and has huge flowers (They get larger each year as the plant ages!) They are great as cut flowers and can even be dried. Unlike other hydrangeas they can be pruned anytime and always grow back beautifully. They maintain a great size. The white blooms of this adaptable shrub glow in the spring and summer garden. I have bought several over the years and am very happy. This is a must-have hydrangea!

Annabells-the best carefree show-stoppers ever!! 0 people found this helpfulI planted 2 Annabells on the east side of my home where it is was very boring and plain. Even before they were fully established, my neighbors on the east were ranting and raving how beautiful they were and thanked me for their view! Awesome at cut flowers also. They keep for weeks.
