The Limelight Hydrangea Tree, scientifically known as Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight', is a popular choice for garden enthusiasts looking to add vibrant greenery to their landscape. This tree is known for its stunning floral display, with lime green flowers that transition to white and add a touch of elegance to any garden. Ideal for areas with plenty of sunlight, this deciduous tree thrives when planted in well-drained, moist soil. With a mature height and width of 6 to 8 feet, it creates a striking visual impact. The Limelight Hydrangea also offers versatility, making it suitable for ground planting or growing in containers. Available in a 3-gallon container, this tree is shipped directly, ensuring convenience for any gardening project.
Needing well-drained and evenly moist soil, the right amount of sun will yield huge football shaped inflorescences on an imposing 6-8’ tall & wide showstopper. The first glance at the young pale green flowerhead isn’t the whole color story. Fully unfurled in mid-summer, the green yields to white. Then, as the summer eases into fall the color matures to a tea stain mix of muted pinks, creams & greens complementing the bronzing fall landscape.
Care
Blooming on new wood, a simple winter pruning is required. Remove about 1/3 to 1/2 of last year’s growth to control size and set the scene for the upcoming season’s flowers. Use ‘Limelight’ as a screening hedge planted 6-7’ apart. It’s a stunning stand alone specimen, and unsurpassed in fresh or dried cut flower arrangements. Fertilize in early spring with our SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health.
