Limelight Prime Hydrangea
Hydrangea paniculata 'SMNHPPH' USPP 32,511
Limelight Prime Hydrangea represents a refined evolution of the acclaimed Limelight cultivar, maintaining full-sun tolerance while introducing meaningful structural improvements. This upright panicle hydrangea reaches approximately two-thirds the size of its parent, with notably reinforced stems that resist flopping under rain-laden conditions. Flowers transition from lime-green emergence to vibrant bubblegum-pink tones as temperatures decline, delivering extended seasonal interest. In southern regions, afternoon shade protection from intense heat optimizes performance. Its compact stature and superior branch architecture make it exceptionally suitable for group plantings alongside evergreen companions, creating landscape compositions of refined elegance and sustained visual drama.
