Hydrangea, Panicle Limelight

The brightly colored flowers of Limelight have a refreshing effect on the late summer garden. A large, hardy Panicle Hydrangea (cone-shaped flowers), Limelight produces big, dense, domed panicles in late summer that last through fall. The flowers emerge bright lime green, brightening to ivory white, then gradually fading to pinkish green and finally tan in winter. The multi-hued, long-lasting flowers are great for cutting and drying. Excellent as a stand-alone specimen or planted in groups for a stunning display in large areas. Panicle Hydrangea don't appreciate shade as much as other Hydrangea, and are best planted in full to partial sun and kept evenly moist. Prune lightly in late fall or early spring, removing no more than 1/3 of the stem length.
