Description
The conical heads of lime-green buds on the well-named ‘Limelight’ open to produce simply-structured, cream-white flowers with just a mere hint of pink to soften them. The heads are just heavy enough to make the branches sway, adding elegance and movement to this graceful shrub which will shine from late-July until November.It’s one of several similar white hydrangeas and you could also grow the flat-topped H. arborescens ‘Annabelle’ or the heavier headed H. quercifolia. The latter is very good at flopping over low walls and the oak-shaped leaves also colour up to a brilliant red in September.
