Panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'limelight') at the New York Botanical Garden (Bronx, New York)--November 21, 2009
One of the many shapes and colours of hydrangeas thriving in my British Columbia southern Pacific climate zone.
The panicle hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) blooms later than the smooth hydrangea, often not flowering until July. But the 6- to 12-inch-long, cone shaped, creamy white flowers are equally persistent. As the flowers age, they often fade to pink.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' WW31 Panicle N4- (Zwijnenburg, NL 2001) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 7x7ft., Flowers emerge creamy white, mature to chartreuse-lime and eventually acquire pink-darkening-to-rose tones before finally fading to beige, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW27, In Garden Bed N4 for 22 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Limelight’ is a slightly more compact cultivar that typically grows to 6-8’ tall and as wide. It is noted for producing large, dense, upright, cone-shaped panicles (to 8” across) of mostly sterile flowers that change color on the shrub as they mature. Flowers emerge creamy white, mature to chartreuse-lime and eventually acquire pink-darkening-to-rose tones before finally fading to beige. As the flower show fades in fall, the oval to ovate, serrate, dark green leaves (to 4” long) turn attractive shades of red. Panicles may be cut for fresh arrangements or for drying, or may be left on the plant where they will persist well into winter. U.S. Plant Patent PP12,874 issued on August 20, 2002.
Michael Dirr: Limelight’ (‘Lime Light’) is promoted as producing bright lime-green flowers, however, as I observed it at Dudley Nursery, Thomson, Georgia, the flowers simulated those of ‘Grandiflora’. Sepals are white with smaller, more uniform inflorescences; I suspect the heat of Zone 7 results in the expression of white.
Condon confirms the white color in his Nantucket,
Massachusetts, garden. Stems were weak with inflorescences, producing a weeping willow effect on the container-grown plants. Promos state flowers are fresh green in 10- to 12-inch-long, 6- to 7-inch-wide panicles, held on Limelight1 strong stems, grows 6 to 10 feet, 5 to 6 feet wide, rounded shrub, moderate grower. Hybridized by Pieter Zwijnenburg.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' 23W29 Panicle U2- (Peter Zwijnenburg Jr, Netherlands 1990) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 10x8ft., 15in. long sterile florets emerge pale green and mature to bright white to pale pink by early fall, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW28, In Garden Bed U2 for 34 MONTHS (Meijer). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Phantom' features very large flower heads held on sturdy, straight stems that are not prone to flopping. The terminal, cone-shape, panicle inflorescences can reach up to 15" long and are excellent for fresh cut or dried arrangements. The sterile florets emerge pale green and mature from bright white to pale pink by early fall. Mature specimens can reach up to 10' tall with an equal spread.
Almost Eden: It's quietly whispered among those in the know that this sister seedling to the highly touted Limelight™ may actually be the better of the two, but we'll leave it up to you to decide... Huge clusters of white sterile florets are held above the rich dark green foliage on sturdy upright to arching stems in summer and change to pink and green in fall.

2020 note: good sized potted plant from Meijer in Ann Arbor (Jackson RD). Probably a 2 gallon pot. This one is somewhat taller and wider than most of the recent introductions (this is not a recent intro), so I need to plant it where is will have some room to grow. End of the season sale at 30% off. Tag indicated a height of 10-20 feet, while most web info reported 10 feet at maturety. Purchased in late August, will wait for cooler weather in September to plant. In the greenhouse with the rest of the panicle hydrangeas that get watered daily in this heat.

"Hydrangea (pronounced /haɪˈdreɪndʒ(i)ə/,[1] common names Hydrangea and Hortensia) is a genus of about 70-75 species of flowering plants native to southern and eastern Asia (China, Korea, Japan, the Himalayas, and Indonesia) and North and South America. By far the greatest species diversity is in eastern Asia, notably China, Korea, and Japan. Most are shrubs 1-3 m tall, but some are small trees, and others lianas reaching up to 30 m by climbing up trees. They can be either deciduous or evergreen, though the widely cultivated temperate species are all deciduous.
"Hydrangea flowers are produced from early spring to late autumn; they grow in flowerheads (corymbs or panicles) at the ends of the stems. In many species,the flowerheads contain two types of flowers, small fertile flowers in the middle of the flowerhead, and large, sterile bract-like flowers in a ring around the edge of each flowerhead. Other species have all the flowers fertile and of the same size." (Wikipedia)

Hydrangea paniculata 'ZINFIN DOLL' WW39 Panicle J2- (Wood, 2016) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 7ft., Pink, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Month 7c, In Garden Bed J2 for 5.3 YEARS (Bluestone). Planted in 2017.
Hydrangea paniculata Zinfin Doll® 'SMNHPRZEP' (PP26956, 2016) was developed by Timothy Wood, MI. Selected from an open-pollination of seed parent Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lamb'. Dense bi-colored blooms emerge white then transition to hot pink to red. Upward-facing blooms on strong stems. Soil acidity does not affect bloom color. A Proven Winners® selection. Good growth in 2 years time. Great fall colors.
2020 note: About 3 feet tall and wide after 3 years in the ground. Needs to be bottom trimmed to be more vase shaped (my preference). Soil in this garden is on the clay side. Seed parent is Little Lamb, which I had but did not survive. Like most of my panicle hydranges, it starts out white and turn pink or red or both. I will probably keep this at a 3-4 foot height.

First Editions: With a commanding presence in the summer and fall garden, White Diamonds® is an exceptional compact hydrangea with glistening white, upright panicles that eventually fade to lovely parchment and pink colors for dried arrangements. Smaller and more manageable than most H. paniculata, White Diamonds boasts dark green leathery foliage that displays increased heat and drought tolerance. Use as an anchor in the mixed border, plant as a hedge or in a large grouping for a magnificent effect.
2020 note: Compact hydrangea with glistening white, upright panicles that eventually fade to lovely parchment and pink colors. The last one looked healthy then suddenly turned brown and died in 7/2020. A 2 gal potted plant. 2022note: very nice:)

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.

Hydrangea paniculata 'STRAWBERRY SUNDAE' 23W29 Panicle T3- (Renault 2015) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 5x4ft., Panicles emerge white and mature to strawberry pink, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW26, In Garden Bed T3 for 4.8 YEARS (Lowes). Planted in 2018.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Rensun’, commonly sold under the trade name of STRAWBERRY SUNDAE, typically grows to only 5’ tall and to 3-4’ wide. Flower panicles (7” by 5”) feature showy sterile flowers which bloom on new growth from mid-summer to fall. Sterile flowers emerge white, change to pink and finally mature to strawberry red, with multicolored flowering (white to strawberry red) occurring in late summer as new flowering stems emerge to join mature flowers. This cultivar is very similar to H. paniculata ‘RENHY’ VANILLA STRAWBERRY (French breeder Jean Renault bred both) except it is much smaller in size. U.S. Plant Patent PP#25,438 issued on April 14, 2015.
2020 note: 3 feet high and 4 feet wide after 23 months in the ground. Really pleased so far with this shrub.

Hydrangea paniculata 'STRAWBERRY SUNDAE' WW35 Panicle T3- (Renault 2015) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 5x4ft., Panicles emerge white and mature to strawberry pink, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW26, In Garden Bed T3 for 4.0 YEARS (Lowes). Planted in 2018.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Rensun’, commonly sold under the trade name of STRAWBERRY SUNDAE, typically grows to only 5’ tall and to 3-4’ wide. Flower panicles (7” by 5”) feature showy sterile flowers which bloom on new growth from mid-summer to fall. Sterile flowers emerge white, change to pink and finally mature to strawberry red, with multicolored flowering (white to strawberry red) occurring in late summer as new flowering stems emerge to join mature flowers. This cultivar is very similar to H. paniculata ‘RENHY’ VANILLA STRAWBERRY (French breeder Jean Renault bred both) except it is much smaller in size. U.S. Plant Patent PP#25,438 issued on April 14, 2015.
2020 note: 3 feet high and 4 feet wide after 23 months in the ground. Really pleased so far with this shrub.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Grandiflora' flowers, aka PeeGee Hydrangea, up close and personal. This shrub is exceptionally beautiful in the fall.
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.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Phantom' 23W29 Panicle U2- (Peter Zwijnenburg Jr, Netherlands 1990) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 10x8ft., 15in. long sterile florets emerge pale green and mature to bright white to pale pink by early fall, USDA Hardiness Zone 4, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW28, In Garden Bed U2 for 34 MONTHS (Meijer). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Phantom' features very large flower heads held on sturdy, straight stems that are not prone to flopping. The terminal, cone-shape, panicle inflorescences can reach up to 15" long and are excellent for fresh cut or dried arrangements. The sterile florets emerge pale green and mature from bright white to pale pink by early fall. Mature specimens can reach up to 10' tall with an equal spread.
Almost Eden: It's quietly whispered among those in the know that this sister seedling to the highly touted Limelight™ may actually be the better of the two, but we'll leave it up to you to decide... Huge clusters of white sterile florets are held above the rich dark green foliage on sturdy upright to arching stems in summer and change to pink and green in fall. A Royal Horticulture Society Award of Garden Merit recipient!
2020 note: good sized potted plant from Meijer in Ann Arbor (Jackson RD). Probably a 2 gallon pot. This one is somewhat taller and wider than most of the recent introductions (this is not a recent intro), so I need to plant it where is will have some room to grow. End of the season sale at 30% off. Tag indicated a height of 10-20 feet, while most web info reported 10 feet at maturety. Purchased in late August, will wait for cooler weather in September to plant. In the greenhouse with the rest of the panicle hydrangeas that get watered daily in this heat.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight' WW31 Panicle N4- (Zwijnenburg, NL 2001) Panicle Hydrangea, Mature plant size: 7x7ft., Flowers emerge creamy white, mature to chartreuse-lime and eventually acquire pink-darkening-to-rose tones before finally fading to beige, USDA Hardiness Zone 3-8, Michigan Bloom Week ISO WW27, In Garden Bed N4 for 22 MONTHS (Lowes). Planted in 2020.
Missouri Botanical Garden: ‘Limelight’ is a slightly more compact cultivar that typically grows to 6-8’ tall and as wide. It is noted for producing large, dense, upright, cone-shaped panicles (to 8” across) of mostly sterile flowers that change color on the shrub as they mature. Flowers emerge creamy white, mature to chartreuse-lime and eventually acquire pink-darkening-to-rose tones before finally fading to beige. As the flower show fades in fall, the oval to ovate, serrate, dark green leaves (to 4” long) turn attractive shades of red. Panicles may be cut for fresh arrangements or for drying, or may be left on the plant where they will persist well into winter. U.S. Plant Patent PP12,874 issued on August 20, 2002.
Michael Dirr: Limelight’ (‘Lime Light’) is promoted as producing bright lime-green flowers, however, as I observed it at Dudley Nursery, Thomson, Georgia, the flowers simulated those of ‘Grandiflora’. Sepals are white with smaller, more uniform inflorescences; I suspect the heat of Zone 7 results in the expression of white.
Condon confirms the white color in his Nantucket,
Massachusetts, garden. Stems were weak with inflorescences, producing a weeping willow effect on the container-grown plants. Promos state flowers are fresh green in 10- to 12-inch-long, 6- to 7-inch-wide panicles, held on Limelight1 strong stems, grows 6 to 10 feet, 5 to 6 feet wide, rounded shrub, moderate grower. Hybridized by Pieter Zwijnenburg.
