Hydrangea, 2 gal, Little Lime

Compared to its famous sibling Limelight, Little Lime hydrangea may seem like a pipsqueak. Dont let this petite shrub fool you. While maintaining its short stature, it really packs a visual punch in the garden. In summer, lime green blooms open on strong stems no drooping here. As it ages, rich pink colouring emerges to prolong the show through fall. Little Lime hydrangea is small enough to grow in containers and also stands out as a bold mass planting. Its bright bloom coloration makes it an excellent choice for cut flower gardens and can be used fresh or dried. A Proven Winners Color Choice variety.
