I brought my Annabelles with me from my old house. I put it in the sale clause. My hydrangeas came with me. I even broke off one of the branches and just stuck it into the ground. It grew. I cut mine back to about 2 feet high each spring and by mid summer they are about 4 feet and loaded with big mopheads. I am going to put boxwoods in front of them this year. I am hoping this will help to support them. They droop after heavy rains. I have used rope to tie them up for support. You can't even see the rope for the plant. One of my all time favorites. They make a beautiful center piece for a dinner party too. |
