Limelight Prime®
Hydrangea
An improved, more refined 'Limelight', with darker leaves, stronger stems, a more compact habit, and upright growth. It makes for a great container planting. The blooms emerge a vivid lime-green and maintain that color until they transition into a bubblegum pink and then a deep punch pink.

| Maintenance Notes |
Prune by cutting back the main branches by one-third in late winter or early spring. You may also prune in late fall, once it has gone completely dormant, if desired - you'll find more information in our Ultimate Guide to Panicle Hydrangeas. Panicle hydrangeas require well-drained soil. As such, we do not recommend amending the soil when you plant them, as explained here. Fertilize in early spring (just as the ground begins to thaw in cold climates) if desired, using a granular rose fertilizer. You may fertilize monthly through late July for more rapid growth, but this is not necessary for a healthy, abundantly-blooming plant. |
