Height and spread: 150cm (60?).

Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is a beautiful hydrangea for garden borders and patios. Its large conical flowerheads open in a soft shade of pea green, then fade to creamy white with hints of soft pink. As the plant holds blooms at different stages of growth from late summer into well into the autumn, the result is three-toned effect. Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' is often the last plant to lose its summer flowers, and a simple prune in late autumn keeps it in great condition for the following year. Enjoying dappled shade, a planting under a tree canopy or by a wall, with a shaded root zone, is ideal for this shrub. Height and spread: 250cm (98).
