Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ is a spectacular deciduous shrub, celebrated for its large, conical flower heads that emerge in a refreshing lime-green shade, maturing to creamy white, soft pink, and deep red as the season progresses. Flowering from July to September, this hardy variety grows to a height and spread of 2-2.5m, making it perfect for borders, woodland gardens, and large patio containers.

For best results, plant in a sunny or partially shaded position with moist, well-drained soil. While it adapts well to different soil types, it thrives in fertile, humus-rich conditions. The best time to plant is autumn to early spring, ensuring strong root development before the growing season. Feed with a slow-release fertiliser in early spring and again in midsummer to encourage healthy growth and abundant blooms. Prune in late winter or early spring to shape the shrub and promote larger flower panicles.

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ is excellent for pollinators, as its nectar-rich flowers attract bees and butterflies, providing a valuable food source throughout summer. With its long-lasting, ever-changing blooms, easy-care nature, and pollinator-friendly benefits, it is an exceptional choice for adding structure, colour, and wildlife appeal to any garden.
