Unique chartreuse blooms in midsummer that hold their bright and refreshing color right into autumn when they change to a rich deep pink. The autumn display of green and pink blooms on the same plant is amazing. |
The myth, the legend, the plant: 'Limelight' hydrangea. This unique panicle hydrangea revolutionized landscaping across North America. Huge, football-shaped flowers open in an elegant celadon green that looks fresh and clean in summer's heat. The blooms age to an array of pink, red, and burgundy which persists through frost for months of irresistible flowers. You can use 'Limelight' hydrangea just about any way you can imagine: as a showy flowering hedge, to screen off air conditioners, as an attention-getting specimen, in containers, flower gardens, or anywhere around your home. A long-time favorite of professional florists, it also makes an excellent cut flower, fresh or dried. Top three reasons to grow 'Limelight' hydrangea: - It's a time-tested classic that graces the yards of thousands of homes across North America - Large flowers have a unique color that looks great with any style and color of house. - Blooms every year, even in cold climates - winter doesn't faze it at all.
