The world's first Pink Annabelle! For years gardeners have dreamed of an Annabelle Hydrangea with pink flowers. The dream has come true! INVINCIBELLE™ Spirit hydrangea is the first ever pink flowered, mop-head form of Hydrangea arborescens. Unlike other varieties it continues to make new flowers right up until frost. It is very hardy and easy to grow. Its flower buds are produced on new wood, so it will flowers even if the stems die back to the ground by extreme weather. Garden Centers can pre-book finished plants from a Proven Winner ColorChoice, and partner with us in our Invincibelle Spirit Campaign to raise a million dollars for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
