Thanks for the video! I've been having great luck planting natives and your milkweed video in particular was quite helpful. I haven't looked into native hydrangeas yet, but definitely will now
Annabelle is a cultivar of Hydrangea arborescens, which is native to the eastern United States, from Pennsylvania down. Not sure where you're located, so it may or may not be native to your area.
'Annabelle' is a cultivar of the eastern US native smooth Hydrangea, as is 'Pinky Pollen Ring' which was also featured in the video. Large native range from New York state south to the Florida panhandle and westward to Oklahoma/Kansas. So depending on where you live, and how you're gardening with native plants, it may or may not be native to your specific region of the country.
It's also valuable to add that the 'Annabelle" and most of the "showy" varieties of all the hydrangeas are no good for pollinators if that's an important factor for you.
I wish you would make more videos. Sean is great. 💚💜
We will!

Great to hear!
Love your videos! I am learning SO much. Thank you.
Awesome! Thank you!
Love your videos. Can you please show flower tags for us new gardeners? Thanks
So is the Annabelle variety native or not? I kind of got confused.
