About This Plant
Fresh, bright, and beautifully compact, Limetta® Hydrangea brings a soft lime-green glow to the summer garden. Its rounded flower clusters emerge creamy white before taking on rich lime-green tones, creating a crisp, modern look that pairs beautifully with both colorful perennials and darker foliage. Compact and easy to grow, it’s an excellent choice for borders, foundation plantings, containers, and smaller landscapes.
Planting & Care
How to Plant
Choose a spot with 3–6 hours of sun, ideally morning sun. Dig a hole 2–3 times as wide as the pot but no deeper, with the top of the root ball slightly above ground level. Loosen circling roots and backfill with the native soil. Water deeply after planting and add 2–3 in of mulch, keeping it off the stems. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9.
Watering & Feeding
Water deeply 1–2 times a week for the first season, about 1 in per week. Keep soil evenly moist, especially during heat and dry spells. Feed once in early spring with a slow-release shrub fertilizer.
Pruning & Seasonal Care
Blooms on new wood: prune in late winter or early spring, cutting back by about one-third. Leaving dried flower heads over winter adds interest. Mulch in late fall to protect roots through the first winter.
