Hydrangea Paniculata Limelight 10 Litre: Hydrangea 'Limelight' is a stunning and popular cultivar of the Hydrangea Paniculata species. It is known for its large, cone-shaped flower heads, which start out a vibrant lime green colour and gradually turn to a creamy white as they mature. Hydrangea 'Limelight' is a deciduous shrub that can reach a height of upto approximately 2.4 metres with a similar spread. It has a rounded and bushy habit with sturdy stems that can support the weight of the flowers. The leaves are medium green and ovate in shape, creating a lush backdrop for the showy blooms. One of the most distinctive features of Hydrangea 'Limelight' is its large and cone-shaped flower heads. The flowers emerge in mid-summer and continue to bloom into the autumn. They start out as a vibrant lime green colour, giving the shrub its name. As the season progresses, the flowers gradually transition to a creamy white. The flower heads can reach a length upto approximately 30cm and create a breathtaking display in the garden.

Hydrangea 'Limelight' thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers well-draining soil that is rich in organic matter. While it can tolerate a range of soil types, it performs best in moist, fertile soil. Regular watering is crucial, especially during dry periods, to ensure the plant's health and vitality. '

'Limelight' requires regular watering, especially during hot and dry periods. Try to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulching around the base of the plant can help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Apply a balanced slow-release fertiliser in early spring to promote healthy growth and abundant blooms. Follow the recommended dosage on the fertiliser packaging to avoid overfeeding.

Generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, keep an eye out for common issues such as aphids, powdery mildew, and leaf spot. If necessary, treat with appropriate organic or chemical controls.

Hydrangea 'Limelight' is a versatile shrub that can be used in various garden settings. Due to its size it works well as a focal point, in mixed borders, or as a hedge. Its large and showy flower heads also make it a popular choice for cut flower arrangements.

When it comes to pruning time we recommended early spring, before new growth begins, this ensures that it will produce abundant blooms during the upcoming growing season. Pruning at this time also allows for the removal of any dead or damaged wood, as well as the thinning out of overcrowded branches. By pruning Hydrangea 'Limelight' during the recommended time, you can promote strong and vigorous growth, maintain the shrub's shape, and enhance its overall health and appearance. Hydrangea Limelight bloom on new wood, so you can prune back the old growth to encourage fresh abundant flowers. You can cut back relatively hard if required but usually we would cut stems back to around 1/3 of their original height.

Paniculata Hydrangea are not to fussy about where they are pruned, they will flower annually, however to enhance flowering and to avoid the plants becoming to leggy they are best pruned hard in early spring, cut back the previous season's shoots to within a few buds of the permanent, woody framework of the plant.

When should I prune back my Hydrangea:

We suggest waiting until Febrary/March when the frosts have gone.    The dead flower heads will protect the plant over the winter months.    When the frosts have finished cut it back by approximately a quarter and remove any weak or frost damaged shoots to the healthy wood.
