Description
Hydrangea arborescens 'Strong Annabelle' (Incrediball) is a variety of Virginia hydrangea with huge, 30 cm (11.8 in) round flowers in a very charming cream-white colour. This beautiful, ramified bush reaches a height of 1.5 m (4.9 ft) when fully grown. Very floriferous, it decorates the garden from June until the first frost. The sturdy stems easily support the weight of the flowers, even when they are loaded with rain. It suits sunny beds and flowering hedges but also adapts perfectly to being grown in a pot or container on a terrace. Its flowers are also beautiful in bouquets.
Hydrangea arborescens, or Virginia hydrangea, belongs to the large Hydrangeaceae family. This botanical species, native to the Southeastern USA, is less demanding in terms of shade and soil than its Asian counterparts. Through hybridisation, it has produced numerous varieties that prove to be excellent garden shrubs.
The 'Incrediball' series includes highly ramified and floriferous bushes that decorate the garden from June until the first frost. 'Strong Annabelle' is a hardy plant that faithfully blooms even after cold winters, on new shoots. It is suitable for cold regions as it produces new flower buds throughout the summer and is not afraid of spring frosts. It has beautiful ramified stems that reach up to 1.5 m (4.9 ft) and form a bush that is at least as wide (or even wider depending on the conditions). From the end of June onwards, they are crowned with very large perfectly spherical corymbs that continue to bloom until late summer. The inflorescences can measure up to 30 cm (11.8 in) in diameter and are made up of a multitude of small flowers with 3 to 4 sepals. They open green and become white when ripe, then turn green again at the end of flowering. The overall effect harmonises elegantly with the foliage, which is a fairly dark green and consists of beautiful, single, ovate leaves that are 10 cm to 20 cm (3.9 in to 7.9 in) long, wide, and nicely crinkled. Hydrangeas can live for many years in the garden, often more than 50 years.
If you like naturally-looking hydrangeas that are easy to grow in any good garden soil, 'Strong Annabelle' will delight you. If your decor is more contemporary, or if you have a small urban garden, this moderately-sized bush will bring an elegant touch. Hydrangea arborescens 'Strong Annabelle' brightens up any semi-shaded scene, whether planted alone or in a group. Plant a small border of boxwood or Lonicera nitida 'Elegant' at its base to provide a setting for its large white flowers. In the front of an urban garden, it brings romance and distinction. It can be surrounded by hellebores, hardy fuchsias, daffodils, and pansies, which extend the flowering season and complete the range of colours. Finally, while it is superb in beds and flowering hedges, it is also perfectly suited for use in pots or containers on a terrace. Cut its flowers to create beautiful bouquets!

Planting and care
It requires a sunny or lightly shaded location in rich and well-drained soil. At planting, make sure to place it in deeply tilled soil. A good basal fertiliser (horn or dehydrated blood) will promote the establishment of your plant and nourish it without risk of burning. The plant is highly perpetual, so feel free to regularly remove the faded flowers in summer. Towards the end of summer, we advise you to no longer remove its flowers, as the large dried umbels will protect the terminal shoots during winter. You can cut all these dried flowers at the end of February or at the first signs of good weather.

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.
