Hydrangea paniculata Limelight Prime®

With a mature height that’s 2’ shorter than its close relative Hydrangea ‘Limelight,’ compact Hydrangea paniculata Limelight Prime® offers all the same qualities – and more – for smaller spaces. Like its progenitor, Prime® offers a lavish display of greenish white panicle flowers that look cool in summer and shade pink in fall. The blooms are held on sturdy stems, and because this Hydrangea flowers on new growth, the blossoms appear reliably every year no matter how harsh the winter. But Prime® also blossoms earlier than ‘Limelight,’ and offers remarkable hardiness at both ends of the hot/cold spectrum. A classic choice for hedging, layering amid foundation plants, and adding gorgeous flowers to the high summer and late season garden. A Proven Winners®/Color Choice® variety. ‘SMNHPPH’ PP 32,511

Because Paniculata Hydrangeas bloom on new growth, they typically flower normally even if the twigs have been killed back by frost. Plant in a sunny, well-drained spot; some early afternoon shade is beneficial in hot southern regions. Prune in late winter or early spring.

Hydrangea is a valuable genus of some 100 species of shrubs and vines grown for their large and very showy flower heads. Hydrangeas are at their best in summer and fall—a quiet time for most woody plants—and are worth having for that reason alone.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone.
