• I have both Limelight shrubs and a treeform that I have been growing for just over a year now. They survived our Michigan winter and woke up in the spring ready to steal the show. The shrubs especially put on SO much growth. I got them as small quart size pots beginning of last spring and now the largest is about 4ftx3ft and the other is closer to 3ftx3ft. The treeform and my shrubs alike have numerous blooms now that we are into August. Absolutely no regrets getting my Limelights!

• Limelight is one of the BEST investments a Gardner can make. It has a POWERFUL PRESENCE and low maintenance. I have 6 of them. Gold leaves in Autumn and snow covered panicles in winter here in beautiful Michigan.

• I’m so disappointed with the Limelight Hydrangea Tree/Bush. Within a couple weeks of planting, nearly half of the grafted branches have snapped and it just looks so sad. The weight of the blooms + immature branches + a little bit of rain = a terrible combination. I bought a more mature plant at a higher price, and planted in a prominent spot in my landscape. I was so excited, but now I’m just sad. In my opinion, this plant is not well designed/engineered grafted plant and it’s just not suitable to thrive or even hold up to normal natural conditions, especially when it’s young. Something Mother Nature just didn’t intend.

• This plant lives up to the hype, it’s gorgeous and healthy. I have 2 bushes that are covered in enormous blooms every year. The color progression of the flowers is stunning and they make marvelous bouquets. Buy this plant!

• Love this plant! I planted five along one side of my driveway this past spring (2021). Just in this growing season they've doubled their size- and that's even with deer nibbling on them before I got serious about applying deer spray regularly.

• LOVE. LOVE. LOVE. There are just so many great things! Purchased 5 of these from a local "blue" box store with a TON of new growth for a great price. They did have a few weeds growing in the container as well but were easily removed. The ones we purchased were in 3 gal containers and easily 3 ft. tall. They are full and foliage looks beautiful. Using 1 in a large flower bed and the other 4 to mix in with a property boarder. We intend to add Natchez Crepe Myrtles, and pink crepe myrtles & Camillias to tie in Pink crepe myrtles already on the property elsewhere. We also have Bobo Hydrangeas as well as a Rave hydrangea and blue big leaf. Can not wait to see these compliment their own seasons and enjoy hydrangeas all through the year! Zone 7b, all in full sun.

• I am noticing in the daytime their leaves are wilted and sick looking. In the evening they look great. So, is this normal? The get morning sun and then filtered sun in afternoon.

• Hi ProvenWinnersI have planted Limelight Hydrangea which had larger, dark green leaves and did not turn very pink in fall/ winter, when I lived in Zone 3 area.I moved to zone 7 area and planted another limelight. in fall. In summer I found the leaves are not soft textured, narrow , not dark green and they are more shrub type with thin stems. I would like to know whether you have two varieties in Limelight Hydrangea. If so what are their latin names ?I have not planted little lime as the tag from nursery centers say it is limelight hydrangea particulate.Your clarification is much appreciated.Thank you.
