Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’
Zone: 3
Size: 8’ H x 8’ W
‘Limelight’ is likely the most well-known of the tree-form Hydrangeas. People love it for its namesake, light lime flowers. Mid-summer blooms are abundant and gigantic! They contrast nicely with their dark green canvas. As the season progresses, flowers fade and take on a light blush. Pink tones are less pronounced in this variety than many others. Like all Hydrangeas, ‘Limelight’ is salt-tolerant and adaptable. Since Panicle Hydrangeas bloom on new wood, they should be pruned in early spring before growth begins. Give this tree a decent amount of space. While ‘Limelight’ is one of the most compact tree options for our area, it grows vigorously. Cheating space limitations will lead to disappointment.
