Common Name: Little Lime HydrangeaLatin Name: Hydrangea paniculata ‘Little Lime’Soil: Well-drained soilPosition: Full sun or partial shadeFlowering period/colour: August to September/Lime green then creamHardiness: Fully hardyEventual height/spread: 1.5m/1.5mSpecial features: A more compact version of the ever-popular ‘Limelight’.As the name suggests, the ‘Little Lime’ is a more compact version of the popular ‘Limelight’. This delightful shrub features bright green leaves that are finely serrated at the edges. The flowers really bring this shrub alive and they appear in late summer until early autumn: they are lime green when they emerge, then they mature to cream and then have a final rosy blush before they fall. This is a great choice for adding colour to an area that has limited space, and it also is well-suited to being planted in a large pot as long as it is regularly watered.
