Hydrangea paniculata 'Jane' USPP 22,330, Can 3,914 | Little Lime® Hardy Hydrangea

Compared to its famous sibling 'Limelight', Little Lime hardy hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) may seem like a pipsqueak. Don't let this petite shrub fool you. While maintaining its short stature of 3-5' tall and wide, 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 colouration makes it an excellent choice for cut flower gardens and can be used fresh or dried. This reliable performer blooms on new wood, so a quick trim in late winter or early spring will encourage fresh growth and an abundance of buds. Like most hardy hydrangeas, it is hardy to Zone 3 and does best in full sun or part shade. Soil pH does not affect bloom colour.
