Plants really very reduced. Even though we are in a period of dormancy, the young plants are very, very small. I'm disappointed ????

Description
The Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' is a bushy shrub with particularly spectacular flowers. From the month of June, small inflorescences emerge in light green. They will bloom throughout the summer, gradually swelling to the size of a large balloon. They then brighten up and display a bright white that stands out clearly from the background of green foliage. Often more adaptable than its cousins, it likes moist and humus-rich soils and sun, but will also tolerate poorer soil and a semi-shaded exposure.
What a spectacle! This Hydrangea has beautiful branched stems that reach up to 1.5m (4 to 11ft) and form a bush of the same width (and more depending on conditions). They are crowned with large perfectly spherical flower heads that give it a very airy silhouette. The weight of these inflorescences often bends the flexible stems and they then seem to float in the wind. It is true that they can measure up to 30cm (11.8in) in diameter and are made up of a multitude of small flowers with 3 to 4 petals, of a bright white which is slightly washed with green at the beginning of flowering. The whole contrasting elegantly with the green foliage, composed of beautiful single, wide and ovate deciduous leaves which are nicely crimped. 'Annabelle' is suitable for all situations: if you like the natural look, it will satisfy you with its simplicity. If your compositions are more contemporary, it will bring an architectural touch with its hanging balls. Finally, if you prefer to combine white and green, it will be essential. In addition, its flowers will dry on the stem, providing autumn and winter decoration in shades of fawn.
The Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' brightens up all scenes in partial shade and the effect is enhanced when placed in a group. At its feet, a small border of boxwood or Lonicera nitida Elegant will allow it to rest its large flowers and display them. In front of a city garden, it brings refinement and distinction surrounded by Hellebores, Daffodils and Pansies that extend the flowering season and complement the range of whites.

Planting and care
The 'Annabelle' Hydrangea is happy in spring or autumn under light shade or in the sun. It prefers moist, humus-rich, neutral soils, but also accepts poorer soils with a slight tendency towards chalk.
Plant it in deeply cultivated soil. A good base fertilizer (fish blood and bone) will promote the growth of your plant and nourish it without the risk of burning. If your soil tends to be dry, mix our water retainer, stockosorb, with the soil when filling the planting hole and provide a surface watering basin.
The plant is perpetual flowering, so feel free to regularly remove faded flowers in summer. Towards the end of summer, we recommend not cutting the inflorescences anymore, as the large dry umbels will protect the terminal shoots in winter. You can cut all of these at the end of February or at the first signs of good weather, as this bush blooms on new wood.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
