Hydrangea paniculata (Hardy Hydrangea)
Color Name: Little Lime
A new dwarf form of the ever popular "Limelight" hydrangea, Little Lime sports the same great flowers and coloration as "Limelight" but in a smaller package. At one third the size of traditional hardy hydrangeas, this new variety fits well into any landscape.
The color makes a great addition to the garden and it blends wonderfully with all other colors. Just like "Limelight" you can use the flowers in bouquets either fresh or dried to make a unique floral design. This is an easy to grow plant with reliable flowering and flower color regardless of soil pH or winter temperatures.
Summer flowers open soft green and turn pink and burgundy in fall. Blooms on new wood.
Dwarf hydrangea produces green summer flowers that turn pink in fall. Dwarf "Limelight" blooms every year. Very hardy.

Growing Tips: Soil Adaptable to most any soil except very wet or excessively alkaline soils. Pruning In late winter or early spring, cut back by about one-third its total height, just above a set of large buds. This ensures that the growth for the season will come vigorous buds lower on the plant and also serves to remove any remaining dried blooms. Alternatively, cut back in autumn once the plant has gone completely dormant. May be cut back harder if desired, though this tends to produce stems that are unable to achieve maximum stem strength the following season. Uses Specimen; mixed borders; mass plantings. Makes a good hedge or screen. Excellent for cut flowers, both fresh and dried. Growing Tips Panicle hydrangeas are the most sun tolerant hydrangeas and are also resistant to wilting. In cooler climates, full sun is recommended for best stem strength and flower set. Flower color is unaffected by soil chemistry. If flowers turn brown and dry instead of aging to pink or red, this indicates that the plant needs more water or that nighttime temperatures are too high for the transition to occur.
