Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Shrub
Plant Family: Hydrangeaceae
Plant Description: One of the most winter hardy hydrangeas, this compact shrub produces panicles of creamy white flowers that become chartreuse tinted with age and eventually fade to pink. The oval leaves are coarse and dark green in color. It prefers moderate amounts of water and organic soils. This variety is a good choice for urban conditions.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Shrub - Thinning
Plant Care: Shrub - Thinning (woody multi-stemmed plants that lose their leaves every winter and look best on older stems): Prune dead, diseased, or rubbing branches. Pruning is best done in late winter to early spring for most shrubs. With spring blooming shrubs, prune after the blooms are spent. Remove up to 1/3rd of the overall shrub, keeping older branches to build up a sturdy, permanent and picturesque framework. Keep in mind that these shrubs bloom directly on older wood or on shoots that come off old wood. Monitor for pests, diseases, or other ailments on a regular basis.
