    • About this plant

      Hydrangea 'Limelight' is a robust and showy panicle hydrangea, prized for its bold, upright flower clusters that add elegance to borders, hedging, and containers. Blooming from midsummer into autumn, the flowers shift in colour from fresh lime-green to soft white and may take on blush pink tones as the season progresses. Its strong stems support the large blooms without flopping, even after heavy rain. With its ability to thrive in full sun and partial shade, this hardy and low-maintenance shrub is an excellent choice for a long-lasting display.
