'Limelight' Panicle Hydrangea
The 'Limelight' Panicle Hydrangea is celebrated for its massive, football-sized blooms that last over 16 weeks, transitioning from bright green to white and pink tones through the seasons. Supported by ultra-strong stems, this shrub grows up to 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide, making it ideal for long-flowering hedges or privacy screens. It is surprisingly low maintenance, ultra-hardy, and blooms reliably on new wood. This popular variety thrives in sun to part-sun conditions and is an excellent choice for beginners seeking a spectacular specimen or foundation planting.
