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

1. Light Requirements: Plant in a location that receives morning sun and afternoon shade. 'Annabelle' prefers partial shade or filtered sunlight. Avoid planting in full shade, as it can result in reduced flowering.

2. Soil Conditions: Provide well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. Hydrangeas prefer slightly acidic soil with a pH range of 5.5 to 6.5. If your soil is alkaline, amend it with compost or peat moss to lower the pH.

3. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during hot and dry periods. Water deeply at the base of the plant to ensure the roots receive adequate moisture. Mulching around the base of the plant helps retain soil moisture and regulate temperature.

4. Fertilization: Feed with a balanced slow-release fertilizer formulated for hydrangeas in early spring. Follow the package instructions for proper application rates. Avoid excessive fertilization, as it can lead to lush foliage at the expense of blooms.

5. Pruning: Prune 'Annabelle' hydrangeas in late winter or early spring. Cut back the stems to about 6 inches (15 cm) above ground level to encourage new growth and abundant blooms. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time.

Height and Spread: Hydrangea arborescens 'Annabelle' typically reaches a height of 4 to 6 feet (120 to 180 cm) with a similar spread at maturity. Its robust growth habit and large flower clusters make it a standout feature in the garden.
