Hydrangea arborescens ‘NCHA7’

Unlike anything that's ever come before, this new hydrangea blooms every single year, even in cold climates and is impervious to bad pruning. It's the same type of hydrangea as the classic and much-loved 'Annabelle' but instead of plain white blooms, the flowers are a deep pink-mauve, and they're held up on strong, sturdy stems that don't flop. The show begins in early summer and because it is a rebloomer, it continues clear through frost for an endless supply of flowers for the landscape or vase (both fresh and dried!).
