Hydrangea paniculata Little Lime

Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime' is a compact novelty, with beautiful lime green panicles.

This new variety could be described as the lilliputian version of the Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight'. With a height of only 1.20m, this hydrangea forms a stout bush as tall as it is wide.

Of medium size, its panicles are composed of petals that are initially green, gradually turning white and then pale pink as they fade. From August to October, it is covered with panicles of 20cm (7.9in) in length.

The flowering attracts butterflies. The panicles are borne on short, thick and very rigid branches. Hydrangea paniculata has deciduous, dark green foliage that turns red in autumn.

Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime' therefore integrates perfectly on terraces and balconies, but can also be planted along borders with the Echinacea 'Green Jewel', the Eupatorium rugosum 'Braunlaub' or the Heuchera 'Lime Rickey'.

Vigorous and robust, it has good hardiness and requires sunlight and water to flower properly.
