Hydrangea Limelight

An outstanding cultivar of the panicle hydrangea with a particularly refined flower colour, Hydrangea paniculata Limelight is a medium-sized to large, vigorous, deciduous shrub with an upright, bushy, spreading habit. The leaves are pale green on grey-green stems, sometimes flushed pink. From mid-summer to autumn the flowers, in magnificent, conical panicles, emerge a delicate pistachio green, fading to ivory; in autumn they turn deep pink. An easy plant, and particularly beautiful in a shady border. Cut back most of the previous years growth in early spring to promote flowering. Hydrangea Limelight holds the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
