Hydrangea pan. Limelight

Hydrangea pan. ‘Limelight’ is a dependable panicle hydrangea for Irish gardens, forming a bushy, upright, deciduous shrub with large conical flower heads that open a fresh lime‑green, mature to creamy white in summer, and often blush soft pink into early autumn. Flowering on new wood from mid to late summer, it thrives in sun or light shade and in moist but well‑drained, fertile soil; prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and encourage bold panicles. Reaching around 2–3m over time, it makes a striking specimen or a standout feature in mixed borders, delivering long‑season interest and reliable performance in cool, damp climates.

To help give a clear sense of scale, the stone wall shown in our photos measures approximately 265cm in height. We also use familiar garden tools as visual references: a digging fork (110cm tall) and a hand fork (30cm tall). These are included purely as size guides to help you better judge proportions when viewing the images.
