Limelight Hardy Hydrangea Tree Form
Overview: A hydrangea grown for its lime-green blooms that age to pink.
Mature size: Approximately 6–8 ft. tall and wide.
Sun exposure: Full sun to part shade — more sun-tolerant than most hydrangeas
Flowering season: Mid-summer through early fall
Hardiness: USDA Zones 3–8
Water needs: Average; keep evenly moist, especially in full sun
Special features: Trained as a single-trunk tree form rather than a multi-stemmed shrub. Cone-shaped flower clusters open white to lime-green and age to pink; blooms on new wood, so prune in late winter to early spring if shaping is needed; sturdy stems generally hold up well after rain
Wildlife value: Bees and other pollinators
Botanical name: Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight'
