Proven Winners ® Hydrangea ‘Limelight’ is the preeminent panicle hydrangea that gives maximum impact with minimum effort. Growing in a wide range of hardiness zones 3a-9a, they reach their full impact in mid-summer ( June ) after other hydrangea have finished their show. Site in full sun in cooler climates, a little afternoon shade in warmest regions.
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.
