'LIMELIGHT' ^{Hardy
Hydrangea ppaf}

'Limelight' 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 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.

What people are saying ...

I got 4 complements on this beautiful Hydrangea before even loading it in my car at the nursery. Love it in my yard and looking forward to mixing other colors with it's beautiful light green. - Megan, Zone 8 Georgia

[Limelight] has performed very well in my yard. I have placed it in a spot where it doesn't get much sun but the roots are kept quite damp and I had a good show of flower heads the first full year in. I like it so much I want to find a sunnier location to put another one! Thanks! - Ronnie, Zone 3

One word to describe this hydrangea is "Fantastic." Beautiful color and large flower-heads. Blooms all summer into fall. Low maintenance and care. It's a showstopper - people passing by always stop and take a second look. - Linda, New York Zone 6

I love this plant, at first I forgot it's name and where I bought it, until I recently found the tag, which I always save. It really did well this past year (it's first year) Next spring I'm going to move it to where I can see it from my living room window.:) I dried the big, beautiful blooms for great winter arrangements. - Sandra, Zone 7

I have many different hydrangeas but hardy Limelight is the best. Upright, very cold hardy and holds the flowers off the ground. It blooms on new wood and keeps color summer thru fall with lush lush blooms. - Gail, IL, zone 5

This Hydrangea is a show stopper: right now, first four months in the ground, full, full sun, lots of fresh air, it is blooming like mad: big, fat beautiful creamy, to bright white elongated blooms. They are sturdy blooms, and take a good wind. They don't collapse. It has doubled in size since April, and I'm looking forward to all the color changes it will go through. The shape of the plant is graceful and strong. It's a garden high-light. The Limelight I planted last year is equally fantastic, and it's in part shade. Last year the blooms got so big and the color changes were so amazing to see, you couldn't believe all that beauty on one plant. Because of that one plant, I went out and got three more. And I'm looking forward to adding a few more, too. Totally addicting, that Limelight. - Judy, RI, Zone 6

I planted two Limelights three years ago in my backyard which gets full sun. I absolutely love them. So easy to care for and such beautiful blossoms. This year, my daughter got married and we had a brunch in our backyard for the newlyweds. I received so many compliments on the blooms!! Our guests had never seen such large flowers on a hydrangea before. The only downfall is that the flowers do not tolerate water during the hot weather. My neighbors sprinklers were spraying over the fence and got the blooms wet during the noon hours and the flowers began to turn brown. All is well now, the sprinklers have been fixed!! - Valerie K.
