Hydrangea arborescens 'Abetwo' was developed (pp20571, 2009) by Timothy D. Wood from Spring Meadow Nursery of Grand Haven, Michigan. 'Abetwo' originated from an open pollination of 'Annabelle' (parent) and an unknown H. arborescens in 2002. Compared to Hydrangea 'Annabelle', it is taller, has larger flower heads, and thicker stems that do not splay when wet. The flowers start out lime green and mature to pure white. Blooms in early June for ~ two months.

Smooth Hydrangea, Wild Hydrangea, or Sevenbark 2 (Hydrangea arborescens) by whitebuffalobk

This pretty plant grows wild in Missouri. The larger flowers that blossom on the outside of the flower clusters are sterile. The small flowers in the center of the clusters produce seeds. Tame varieties have been bred to produce lots of the larger flowers in several colors. Hydrangea means water vessel. The plant likes to be near water.
