Growing and Maintenance Tips
Hydrangea 'Limelight' is an easy, low maintenance shrub. Provide average well drained soil and plenty of moisture in full sun to partial shade. It is not as water dependent as some varieties of hydrangea, and once established, will tolerate drought better. Prune Limelight' in late fall or early spring because it blooms on new wood. The spent flowers can be pruned off after blooming or left until the spring for winter interest. They also dry well for use in bouquets.
