Limelight hydrangea is an upright shrub with intense colouring: the leaves are yellow-green, stems grey-green with pink flushes, and the large flowers are green, fading to creamy white before turning pink in autumn.

Flowering from summer to autumn, Hydrangea 'Limelight' is an excellent shrub for a small garden. The large blooms make good cut flowers.

Grow limelight hydrangea in moist but well-drained soil in full sun to partial shade. Cut back hard in early spring, removing the previous season's shoots to a few buds of older wood.
