Flowering Months

Huge, conical blooms open in a soft shade of pea green, and then gradually mature through shades of cream to a delicate soft pink. Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is quite a spectacle, particularly when flowers are at different stages of colour and maturity, giving a three toned effect. The magnificent blooms make elegant cut flowers, providing exceptional late summer colour in woodland gardens and mixed borders before the vibrant autumn foliage takes centre stage. A wonderful specimen shrub for a prime position. Height and spread: 250cm (98").

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow

Hydrangea paniculata prefers a sunny or semi shaded position, with shelter from cold, drying winds. Grow hydrangea plants in any non alkaline, fertile, moist soil. Improve the soil prior to planting by adding with plenty of well rotted manure or garden compost, ensuring that it is mixed in thoroughly and deeply.

More Info

Water regularly until plants are fully established. Leave the faded hydrangea flower heads in place until the new buds swell in spring to protect the delicate buds from frost damage. Prune after flowering, reducing the stems to restrict their growth to the available space and to improve the shape of the plant. If necessary, Hydrangea paniculata will tolerate hard pruning of the oldest stems to a few buds from ground level. This will also encourage larger flower heads to be produced. After pruning hydrangeas, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or compost around the base of the plant. Caution: irritant to skin and eyes, harmful if eaten.
