    • Why we like this plant

      Hydrangea 'Little Lime' offers the beauty and charm of 'Limelight' in a more compact form, making it perfect for smaller spaces. Its changing flower colours and strong stems provide a long-lasting and structural display in borders and containers.

    • About this plant

      Hydrangea 'Little Lime' is a compact and charming version of the popular 'Limelight', offering the same striking lime-green blooms but in a smaller, more manageable form. It features sturdy stems that hold the large conical flower heads upright, preventing flopping. Flowering from midsummer to autumn, the blooms gradually fade to creamy white before developing delicate pink tones in autumn. Its lush green foliage complements the changing flowers, and it turns golden in autumn for additional seasonal interest. This versatile, low-maintenance shrub thrives in full sun to partial shade and is ideal for borders, containers, and small garden spaces.
