Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime' WW35 Panicle S2-

Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime' WW35 Panicle S2- (Wood, 2011) Compact Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 3-5ft., Sterile flowers emerging soft light green but maturing to pink and burgundy in fall, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW27, In Garden Bed S2 for 3.2 YEARS (Bluestone). Planted in 2019.

 

Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Jane', commonly sold under the trade name of LITTLE LIME, is a compact cultivar that typically grows in an upright rounded mound to 3-5' tall and as wide. It is the product of an open pollination in a planned breeding program that took place in Grand Haven, Michigan in August of 2005 between Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight Variegated' (female parent) and an unknown selection of Hydrangea paniculata (male parent). 'Jane' is particularly noted for its large mophead type inflorescences (panicles to 5" tall by 4" wide), with sterile flowers emerging soft light green but maturing to pink and burgundy in fall. Additional features of interest include compact, upright-mounded shape, free branching habit and strong stems which hold the panicles upright with no drooping. Flowers typically bloom from July through September. Ovate, serrulate, dark green leaves (to 2 1/2” long) are attractive during the growing season, but produce generally undistinguished fall color. Flower panicles may be cut for fresh arrangements or for drying, or may be left on the plant where they often persist into winter. U. S. Plant Patent PP22,330 was issued on December 13, 2011.

 

2020 notes: It is 16 inches tall and has an oblong shape measuring 16 inches wide and 30 inches long. I have not trimmed it yet, but will probably make it more ball shaped. Planted one year ago. Attractive lime green panicles. This was purchased in a 4x4 inch plantable pot and is doing really well after a year in the ground. I did remove the pot before I planted, not a big fan of plantable pots.
