I am so amazed by the big fat cone shaped blossoms on my Limelight Hydrangea that I just had to share!

Isn’t that bloom huge!! I planted this hydrangea just last April and the growth has just been astounding!
The plant in the pot is the Limelight Hydrangea.
This is what that area looks like today. You saw the other side of the barn – the seating area here. I think I’m going to plant another Limelight here this fall. I’ll try propagating it. Won’t a border of Limelights be pretty next year!
Hydrangea paniculata ‘Limelight’ has soft lime green petals that mature into pink in the fall. It grows 8-10 feet tall and can be trained into a tree shape! Limelights bloom on new wood, so you should prune them late in the fall, winter or early in the spring. They’re hardy to Zone 3/4. They do seem to be a bit floppy!
I think they’d be a pretty addition to any garden. They are really spectacular when in bloom!
Gorgeous! I love Hydrangea and now want this variety!
Your flowers are beautiful, I have never been able to grow hydrangea. I planted a new one this year so will see what happens next spring. I would be happy to have one like yours. I can’t believe how much it has grown in one year. The bright white against the red barn is perfect. Thanks for directing people to me, it is so appreciated:) Also sharing you beautiful hydrangeas on my FB page today.
back to blogger? there has to be a story there.
that limelight hydrangea looks very impressive against the red…it must like all the water!
Truly a beautiful species! Should dry nicely too! You can have them in a vase all winter. Leave on the bush till papery to the touch!
Beautiful!
Oh that is just gorgeous, Manuela! Your little barn shed is so cute!
Just beautiful, Manuela! I love all hydrangeas and your pretty white ones just stand out so beautifully against the red background.
Thank you! How was Haven? I totally forgot that was going on the past weekend!! Sorry I missed you, but I’m sure you were kept very busy!
I love that variety of hydrangea. So beautiful, especially against your red barn!
I love hydrangeas, so I am all for the idea of planting more! Love it, and your pretty garden!
Wow! You have the best luck with hydrangeas! The side of your barn is gorgeous…where’d you get those metal (iron?) gates?
Oh I got those at TJMaxx – they were on clearance. I think I blogged about them last year, maybe the year before. They were some crazy price like $15. They’re actually a gate & the side pieces. I’m thinking it might have been part of the arbors that they sell at summer time. I don’t have anyplace to put it as a gate and needed something to block Corey from digging under the barn so I propped them there.
Sheesh they are AMAZING!!! The blooms are spectacular and as to the growth I think they just love your green thumb! 🙂
These are truly amazing. I love them very much!!!

Your hydrangea looks so pretty. It really stands out against your red barn. Beautiful setting.
Beautiful!! I love them so much!
Oh they are just fabulous!
My endless summer are doing wonderful this summer, maybe I need to look for one of these too.
Thanks for the beautiful pics!
Cindy
Beautiful! You have given me so much advice about my hydrangeas. But alas, even though 5 of them made it through last years drought and brutal winter, not a single one of ours bloomed. They are getting dug up in the fall.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen the pale lime hydrangea and they are so nice, green like your thumb!
I get to share the beauty and blooms of my neighbors – it drapes over our fence! I think a border of them would be lovely!!

Your hydrangea is beautiful! I have done something wrong with my bush, I planted it three yers ago and it’s no bigger than it was when I planted it. Actually I had two and one of them died this Spring.
Yours is wonderful, I love hedges made up of multiple hydrangea bushes.
Hugs, Cindy
I need you to come over to my house and bring your green thumb – my hydrangeas are nothing like yours.
Those are gorgeous hydrangea!
I need to propagate some of mine! I love them so!
Deanna
Oh my goodness…I love Hydrangeas. They are so easy to propagate too. I have started many by just pushing down the lowest branches and covering the branch with dirt or potting soil. Then I lay a rock on top to hold down the branch . They will grow roots in about a month.
I need limelights for my garden!!! Yours is spectacular and boy does it pop against the red!!! What a great blog you have here…I found you through the link party!! I’m a new follower here! Cheers Nicole mygardendiaries.com
Hi Nicole!
Thank you! So glad you enjoy the blog and I hope you find it useful. Yes, get a limelight. It’s got blooms that are huge!! I have other hydrangeas and this one really is spectacular and a nice color change. I thing they would look lovely along the back of a border since they get tall.
Thanks for stopping by!
Hi Manuela,
I have this type of hydrangea and it is 7 or 8 feet tall and almost covers the side of my shed. Just wait and yours will do the same.By the way I didn’t do anything to mine,no fertilizer nothing.Enjoy !!!!
This is beautiful and my neighbor across the street has it in tree form and it’s gorgeous! Thanks for posting what it is and what it looks like. 😀
