The 'Limelight' Hydrangea!
'Limelight'
Hardy Hydrangea
Hydrangea
paniculata.
A new hardy Hydrangea from Holland has just shown up in this area.
It is called the 'Limelight' and has unique bright chartreuse blooms that start in mid-summer and hold their bright right into autumn, when the blooms change color to a rich deep pink.
The autumn display of chartreuse and pink blooms on the same plant is breathtaking!
This is an easy to grow plant. You can practically just plop it in the ground and almost watch it start blooming.
Unlike most Hydrangea it has reliable flowering and flower color regardless of soil pH.
The flower heads are of good size, ranging from 6 to 12 inches and are held upright on the shrub.
The blooms are well distributed making a very nice plant and pretty display.
After only three months in the ground, full, full sun, lots of fresh air, it is blooming like mad with big, fat beautiful creamy, to bright white elongated blooms.
The bloods are very sturdy, and will stand up in a good wind which we sometimes see over our creek bank.
Most Hydrangea will quickly wilt in any kind of heat, or if the soil around them is allowd to dry even a little bit.
These guys only require medium moisture and are not as water dependent as the Hyd. Macrophylla.
Once established they will even tolerate drought.
