Plant received and planted in April 2024. It produced about ten large flowers, but on fairly short stems. I expected pure white, but it was more cream than white. Time will tell whether the stems grow taller and the flowers become whiter.

More information

Graden Merit Value-for-money
This paniculate hydrangea has become a great classic thanks to its large conical panicles, which change from lime green to cream and then take on pink tones at the end of the season. Vigorous, upright and with strong stems, it flowers from July to October on the current year's shoots. Very hardy, it grows in full sun or partial shade in deep, moist, well-drained soil, even slightly chalky.

Planting and care

Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ is preferably planted in autumn or spring, in full sun or partial shade. In hot regions, avoid positions that become scorching in the afternoon; the stronger the sun, the cooler the soil should remain. Plant it in a deep, humus-bearing, well-drained soil. It tolerates clay and chalky soils if they do not dry out for prolonged periods. Water regularly during the first two years, then during prolonged droughts; an organic mulch helps keep the roots cool.

Care

Pruning instructions Prune spent flower heads at the end of winter and, if necessary, cut the branches back by half to maintain a compact habit. As it flowers on the current year's wood, carrying out this operation at the end of winter will not stop it flowering. If you want to obtain large flower heads, we recommend pruning it every year in March. If you do not prune it, the flower heads will remain numerous but smaller.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year

Disease resistance Very good
Overwinter Can be left in the ground
