Meet Limelight Prime, a new introduction that grows to only 5 to 6 feet tall and 4 feet wide, which makes it a perfect fit for smaller garden spaces and pots, planters and other containers. There are other differences as well. The flowers on Limelight prime emerge earlier and though they start out the same chartreuse color as Limelight fade to pink by late summer and finally to a cheerful deep pinkish-red in fall. The large flower clusters are held on very sturdy stems that won't flop and its long bloom period means you'll enjoy colorful flowers for over 3 months every year. Excellent as an eye-catching specimen, natural flowering hedge, or as the backdrop to lower growing perennials and shrubs. Cut flowers are perfect for both fresh and dried flower arrangements.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eGrowing in an upright rounded form to 5 to 6 feet all ad 4 feet wide, the Limelight Prime Hydrangea makes an impressive specimen shrub all on its own but is also ideal for hedges and backgrounds for lowering growing shrubs and perennials. Also a nice addition to mixed flowering shrub borders, as an accent in home foundation plantings and in large pots, planters or other containers of 18 inches or more in diameter.

Almost any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility will do. Limelight Prime can take the heat at our location here in north-central Georgia, but it's also exceptionally cold hardy, withstanding even the coldest winter temperatures as far north as USDA Zone 3a, where it will also tolerate full, all day sun. In the South, zones 7 and below, it will tolerate full sun, but we think it performs and looks its best with some filtered sun or dappled shade during the hottest hours of summer afternoons. At least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all day \u003cspan\u003elightly\u003c\/span\u003e filtered sun is suggested for best flowering. Too much shade and plants become floppy with diminished flowering.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eNote:\u003c\/span\u003e  Limelight is a \u003ci\u003eHydrangea paniculata\u003c\/i\u003e species that produces its flowers from buds that are formed on \"new wood\" (the current season's growth). This means you don't want to prune them in late spring or summer when they're preparing to bloom. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eFor proper pruning time and techniques on various types of Hydrangea see:  \u003cspan\u003eHow To Prune Various Types Of Hydrangea\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on a link below to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant and care for Hydrangeas.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant Hydrangeas In The Ground \u0026amp; Pots\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Prune Various Types Of Hydrangea\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fertilize And Water Hydrangeas\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48143191703706,"sku":"D2LSC 762721528","price":31.48,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/Hydrangea-Limelight-Prime-3.jpg?v=1779911848","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/limelight-prime-hydrangea-1-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
