Little Lime? Panicle Hydrangea

Limited space shouldn’t prevent anyone from enjoying the tried-and-true beauty of a panicle hydrangea – and that’s why space-savers like Little Lime hydrangea are so wonderful! Little Lime panicle hydrangea is a dwarf version of ‘Limelight’. reaching just 3-5′ tall and wide. That makes it the perfect plant for flower gardens. landscapes. low hedges. and screening off air conditions. utility boxes. and the like. It boasts big green cone-shaped blooms on strong stems. and they age to a nice red-pink.?

We love to combine both ‘Limelight’ (or the improved Limelight Prime hydrangea) and Little Lime to create a theme-and-variation-type composition in the garden or landscape. It’s a really beautiful and useful plant!

What makes Little Lime different from other panicle hydrangeas?

• Dwarf habit takes up a fraction of the space of conventional varieties
