Limelight® Hydrangea — Hydrangea paniculata
Limelight® Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight') is one of the most popular and versatile flowering shrubs available, prized for its enormous cone-shaped panicles and remarkable multi-season color show. The massive 8″ flower heads emerge a fresh white, transition to luminous lime-green, and develop soft rose-pink tones in fall — providing months of ever-changing beauty. A Proven Winners® classic, Limelight blooms reliably all summer into fall on sturdy upright stems, attracting butterflies throughout the season. One of the easiest hydrangeas to grow, it thrives in full to part sun with rich, moist, well-drained soils and is hardy to Zone 3.
