Transform your garden with the stunning focal point of the Limelight Hydrangea Tree. This versatile tree, growing 6-8' tall and wide, features large inflorescences that change colors throughout the seasons. Starting as pale green, they develop into brilliant white in mid-summer and then blend into charming pinks, creams, and greens for the fall. This low maintenance, adaptable hydrangea is a must-have for gardeners of all ages.

Care:

Blooming on new wood, a simple winter pruning is required. Remove about 1/3 to 1/2 of last year’s growth to control size and set the scene for the upcoming season’s flowers. Use ‘Limelight’ as a screening hedge planted 6-7’ apart. It’s a stunning stand alone specimen, and unsurpassed in fresh or dried cut flower arrangements. Fertilize in early spring with our SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health.
