Pink (only) Annabelle
I need this hydangea. My garden center sells top notch hydrangea so hopefully they will have it next fall. (just bought myself 2 new hydrangea for mother's day)
I love that they are growing cold hardy mopheads now!
The only shocker may be the price. ES used to be quite expensive when it was the only game in town. We should know how much by either this Fall or in Spring of 2010.
I just never tell my husband what I spend and it is all good LOL.
I find that if the quality is there it is worth paying a little more
