To ensure the health and beauty of Hydrangea arborescens 'Strong Annabelle', follow these maintenance tips:

1. Light Requirements: Plant in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. 'Strong Annabelle' thrives in partial shade, especially in hotter climates.

2. Soil Conditions: Provide well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Hydrangeas prefer soil that is consistently moist but not waterlogged. Amend the soil with compost or organic matter to improve its fertility and moisture retention.

3. Watering: Keep the soil evenly moist, especially during hot and dry periods. Water deeply at the base of the plant to ensure the roots receive adequate moisture. Mulch around the base to help retain moisture and suppress weed growth.

4. Fertilization: Feed 'Strong Annabelle' with a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring, following the package instructions. This will provide the necessary nutrients for healthy growth and abundant blooms. Avoid over-fertilization, as it may lead to excessive foliage growth and fewer flowers.

5. Pruning: Prune 'Strong Annabelle' in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems. Cut back the remaining stems to a height of 6 to 8 inches from the ground to encourage robust growth and abundant blooms.

6. Winter Protection: In colder regions, protect the plant during winter by applying a layer of mulch around the base. This will help insulate the roots and protect them from freezing temperatures.
