In the Limelight


Limelight hydrangea has unique bright green blooms in mid-summer that holds it's bright and refreshing color right into autumn when the blooms change color to a rich deep pink. The autumn display of green and pink blooms on the same plant is breathtaking!
The color makes a great addition to the garden and it blends wonderfully with all other colors. Use Limelight in bouquets either fresh or dried to make a unique floral design. This is an easy to grow plant with reliable flowering on new wood and flower color regardless of soil pH or winter temperatures. The flower heads are of good size, ranging from 6 to 12 inches and are held upright on the shrub. The blooms are well distributed making a very nice plant and display. It will grow 6 to 8 foot high with age. Limelight can be easily maintained as a smaller plant and Very tolerant of hard pruning, in fact cutting the plant back from 1/2 to 1/3 will result in larger flowers.
