Dwarf Limelight Hydrangea
The Dwarf Limelight Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight') is a beautiful and versatile shrub that is known for its large, white flowers that turn lime green with age. It is a popular choice for landscaping because it is relatively easy to care for and has a long blooming season.
Dwarf Limelight Hydrangeas can grow up to 3-4 feet tall and wide. They have a compact, rounded habit and are covered in dark green leaves during the growing season. In the summer, the shrubs produce large, cone-shaped panicles of white flowers. The flowers age to lime green over time, creating a beautiful two-toned effect.
Dwarf Limelight Hydrangeas prefer full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are tolerant of drought once established. Dwarf Limelight Hydrangeas can be propagated by cuttings or seeds.
To care for a Dwarf Limelight Hydrangea, water it regularly, especially during the first year after planting. Fertilize the shrub in the spring and fall with a balanced fertilizer. Prune the shrub lightly in the late winter or early spring to remove any dead or diseased branches.
Dwarf Limelight Hydrangeas are a beautiful and versatile addition to any landscape. They can be used as an accent plant, in foundation plantings, or as hedges and privacy screens. Dwarf Limelight Hydrangeas are also a popular choice for container gardening.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
