| Invincibelle™ Spirit Hydrangea arborescens 'NCHA1' ppaf, cbraf | |
|
For years gardeners and landscapers have dreamed of an Annabelle Hydrangea with pink flowers. The dream has come true! INVINCIBELLE™ Spirit hydrangea is the world's first every pink Annabelle. Unlike other selections it continues to produce new flowers right up until frost. It is very hardy and easy to grow. Unlike many hydrangeas, the flower buds are produced on new wood, so it will still produce flowers even if the stems die back to the ground by extreme weather. It is useful as a specimen, mass planting or incorporated perennial gardens or into a woodland setting. The blooms are extremely attractive both in the landscape and as a cut flower. It is a durable choice for both fresh and dried arrangements.

What People are saying: 'Annabelle' is planted all over our village of Wild Rose, WI (zone 4). There are several (including myself) attempting to grow reblooming H. macrophylla with rather poor results. In view that it was minus 4 here this morning with a 35 mile an hour wind probably explains why H. macrophylla cultivars aren't great. I think Tom Ranney has got something with Invincibelle.
