Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight'

The beautiful flowers develop in approx mid June and can last until September or October, during which time the bracts gradually turn from jade green to cream with a hint of pink as they age. The summer leaves are dark green in colour.

A stunning addition to nearly any garden and particularly suitable for sunny borders or woodland planting. Very impressive when group planted and can be grown well in a large container.
