<i>Hydrangea paniculata</i> ‘Limelight’ | Limelight Panicle Hydrangea
DESCRIPTION
Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is a deciduous shrub known for its impressive, large, cone-shaped flower clusters that emerge in a vibrant lime-green shade. As the season progresses, the flowers gradually transition to creamy white, then to pink, and finally to a deep, rich rose in late summer and fall. The sturdy stems support the massive blooms, making them excellent for cutting and adding to floral arrangements. The foliage is a lush, medium green, providing a striking contrast to the changing flower colors. This variety is especially prized for its long blooming period and its ability to brighten up garden spaces with its dynamic color display.
