Hydrangea Paniculata

Gallon $7.97 Two Gallon – $14.97

Limelight panicle hydrangea has been a ‘game changer’ in landscaping designs. It is very popular and loved for its’ huge panicle lime green flowers that are fresh and showy. Lime green flowers mature to an incredible combination of green, pink and burgundy in autumn. Flowers are held upright on sturdy, strong stems and last for months. This summer blooming landscape classic won the Plant of Merit award in 2011. Tolerates some shade but plant in more sun for strongest stems and most color and flowers. Blooms on new wood so trim or prune last winter to early spring. Easy to maintain and drought tolerant. A florist favorite, they are excellent as cut flowers, fresh or for drying.

This extremely durable, long-lived plant is easy to grow. It likes full sun in cold climates, afternoon shade in warmer ones, but it does require well-drained soils that do not remain soggy for any amount of time. 

To prune, simply cut back by one-third its total height every spring. If you wish, you can apply a granular fertilizer formulated for woody plants (like a rose fertilizer) at that time as well.
