Hydrangea Paniculata ‘Limelight’ (Paniculate Hydrangea ‘Limelight’) – Shrub - 65-80 (litres)

Description

A show-stopping garden shrub, loved for its large, conical flower panicles that emerge a fresh lime-green in summer, gradually maturing to creamy white and finally blushing pink as autumn approaches. This ever-changing colour display makes it one of the most spectacular hydrangeas for borders, mixed plantings, or as a striking stand-alone feature. Easy to care for and highly versatile, it thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers moist, well-drained soil. Simply prune back in late winter or early spring to encourage strong new growth and an abundance of flowers.
