Little Lime Hydrangea

EFFERVESCENT BRIGHT GREEN BLOOMs, in dwarf form

Little Lime has a lit-from-within celadon green bloom that reminds us of an elegant English garden, surrounded by ivy, moss and every color green. But this dwarf version of the popular Limelight variety, is easygoing, too and can be grown in casual mass plantings or containers. The mid-summer blooms look clean and fresh in the heat of summer and eventually change to a blush of deep pink and burgundy as they age and fall temps drop.

Large greenish-white cone-shaped flower clusters. Green foliage. Blossoms turn pinkish as they age. Strong upright stems. Leave flowers to dry on stem for fall and winter interest.

Soil: Any well-drained soil will do. Though dry conditions are unlikely to harm an established plant, prolonged drought will cause flowers to brown and wilt instead of develop a good pink color.
We recommend Altums Soil Amendment and Organic Plant Magic soil additive to improve planting areas.
Pruning: Blooms on new wood; prune back by one-third to one-half in early spring for better habit and a slight improvement in stem strength.
Water: Average water needs. Does not tolerate wet conditions.
Water 2-3 times weekly until established.
Fertilizer: Fertilize once in early spring with Organic Plant Magic soil additive.
