Hydrangea paniculata Limelight Prime

The next generation of 'Limelight' is here! Introducing Limelight Prime^® panicle hydrangea.

In a very short time, Limelight hydrangea became one of the most popular cold hardy plants ever - but that doesn't mean that there wasn't room for improvement. So we've spent years developing this new selection that does everything better than the original, from bud to bloom and beyond. Here's how Limelight Prime hydrangea is different:

• blooms much earlier, creating a longer display. This cold hardy plant is especially valuable in colder climates, where 'Limelight' might not bloom until late August.
• bolder, brighter color. As the green blooms age, they develop pink and red tones that are far more vivid and showy than conventional panicle hydrangeas.
• stronger stems. Though strong stems are a crucially important factor in the panicle hydrangeas we select for Proven Winners ColorChoice Shrubs, you can count on Limelight Prime hydrangea to hold its big blooms up all summer long.
• useful smaller size. Limelight Prime reaches a very garden- and landscape-friendly 4-6'/1.2-1.8m tall and 4-5'/1.2-1.5m wide. 

What's the same? You can count on Limelight Prime panicle hydrangea to produce dozens of big, beautiful, mophead cold hardy plant blooms every year, even in cold climates. It also makes a fantastic cut flower, both fresh and dried. And it's still one of the easiest to grow, most rewarding hydrangeas you can plant. Limelight Prime hydrangea will be available in better garden centers beginning spring 2021; click here for a list of retailers.
