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.

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.

Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' 24w32 346do Smooth F4 (McDaniels, Univ of Illinois, 1910) Smooth Hydrangea or wild hydrangea, 4x4ft.@ Maturity, Tiny white fertile flowers corymbs 2-6in. across, Hardy to Zone 3-9, Garden F4 (SRC a9) PLTD 2023.
'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.
National Gardenig Association, member luis_pr: These grew like weeds in my old Atlanta, Georgia stomping grounds. I would add to the description: can wilt a lot when hot so keep it well mulched. And add some wire around it to help support the heavy stems when the blooms get wet. I had to put mine in a full but very bright shady spot so they get limited watering from rains. Will propagate via suckers too so plantings tend to get "wider" as the years pass.
7/14/2023: split and potted 4. Moved most plants from this area.
