Description
In the realm of hydrangeas, Little Lime stands as a petite powerhouse, challenging its famous sibling Limelight with a visual spectacle. This compact hydrangea, reaching a modest 3-5 feet in height and width, defies its size by delivering a vibrant garden display. During the summer, robust lime green blooms emerge on sturdy stems, ensuring a steadfast show without any drooping. As autumn sets in, the blossoms transition to rich pink tones, extending the allure into the fall season.
Little Lime's small stature makes it a versatile choice for container gardening and a bold statement when planted en masse. The lively hues of its blooms make it an excellent selection for cut flower gardens, offering flexibility for both fresh arrangements and dried creations. This reliable performer, blooming on new growth, benefits from a quick trim in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth and abundant buds. Adaptable to Zone 3's harsh conditions, Little Lime thrives in full sun or partial shade, showcasing a transition from soft green to captivating pink and burgundy hues as summer gives way to fall.
