The Limelight Hydrangea is a standout shrub known for its bold, cone-shaped blooms that shift in colour throughout the seasons. Flowers begin a fresh lime green in midsummer, fade to creamy white, then gradually turn pink and deep burgundy by fall. This hardy, low-maintenance plant grows 180–240 cm tall and wide. With dark green foliage and long-lasting blooms, Limelight is perfect for borders, hedges, or floral arrangements—fresh or dried.
