Pink is a unique color for Annabelle hydrangea, and Bella Anna’s colorful, dark pink blooms and strong stems will steal your heart. As its name suggests, Bella Anna will add beauty to your customer’s gardens all season long.
Bella Anna comes from the work of world-renowned breeder, Dr. Michael Dirr. Breakthrough breeding is what Dr. Dirr and his team at Plant Introductions Inc. are known for, and with Bella Anna they have created a rare and remarkable plant that your customers will be asking for next spring.
Bella Anna features large, peppy pink blooms. It is easy to grow and easy to enjoy. Even harsh winter weather or severe pruning is not a problem for Bella Anna. This hardy, reliable hydrangea keeps blooming from early summer through fall, with minimal care.
Bella Anna is a wonderful stand-alone plant, or planted in groups to create a stunning back border. Its large blooms make an excellent cut flower for fresh or dried arrangements.
Endless Summer Bella Anna is exclusive to independent garden centers for spring 2011. Complete details on World’s Easiest Display Contest will be available at the IGC show booth #1401.
