Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' (McDaniels, Univ of Illinois, 1910) 2019 photo - Common Name: Smooth Hydrangea or wild hydrangea, Size: 4x4ft., Tiny white fertile flowers corymbs 2-6" across, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-9, Michigan Bloom Month 6-9, In Garden Bed D1 for 347 DAYS (Lowe). Planted in 2018.
'Annabelle' is a nature cultivar that was discovered ~1910 in the wild near Anna, (Southern) Illinois. Plantsman J.C.McDaniels from the University of Illinois named it and promoted it for its extremely large flowers (corymbs) which are considerably larger than the species. It is probably the most grown cultivar of smooth hydrangea. It blooms on new wood, so it is quite hardy. It can be cut to the ground in late winter to promote plant vigor.
