Just a note, I stuck 2 canes of strong Annabel in a 9 cm pot (pencils thickness and length) in autumn and left them under a tree. Just noticed both of these have rooted and are showing new buds. So if you can get cuttings now could be a good time to propagate...FYI I’m a novice....
Thanks Alchemist. Well done!!! I don't know anyone who has one but now I will just buy one and take cuttings when I can. They are quite expensive plants xx hope yours grows fast
we have planted a 'hedge' of annabelle and they're really struggling. about three years back. a bit too much sun, a bit too light soil, they never seem to be able to get enough hydration. i mulch the soil spring/autumn, i give it some FBB usually spring but they really are weak/feeble shrubs on our soil/situation. i'm STILL hoping they 'just need to get roots down' and so on.....any suggestions welcome ( pot up, move, particular feed, hard prune?)

So expensive! have the same plan to take cuttings and increase my stock from my plant and create a hydrangea hedge like UpNorth.
I bought three from here a couple of years ago to go against a new fence. Good quality plants, and have seen they're just starting to bud nicely too...
