Hydrangea 'Limelight'
The 'Limelight' Hydrangea is a showstopping variety celebrated for its large, conical lime-green flower heads that gradually soften to cream, blush pink, and burgundy with age. Blooming from late summer into autumn, this hardy and upright shrub brings structure, colour, and long-lasting appeal to New Zealand gardens. ‘Limelight’ thrives in full sun to part-shade and performs well in a range of soil types, provided they are moist and well-drained. It’s an ideal choice for hedging, feature planting, or mass displays with dramatic seasonal flair.
