Hydrangea Little Lime

Little Lime® Hardy Hydrangea

Hydrangea ‘Little Lime’ is a beloved dwarf form of the popular ‘Limelight’ hydrangea, offering the same stunning color transitions in a smaller, more versatile package. This deciduous shrub delivers vibrant lime-green flower panicles in midsummer that gradually transform into soft blush-pink tones as autumn approaches. Its compact size, typically reaching 3–5 feet tall, makes it ideal for small gardens, mixed borders, foundation plantings, and decorative containers. With strong stems that hold large blooms upright, ‘Little Lime’ adds structure, elegance, and long-lasting visual appeal to any landscape.

Beyond its beauty, ‘Little Lime’ is also known for its adaptability and reliability. It thrives in a variety of climates, offers excellent cold tolerance, and blooms consistently year after year. Whether used as a featured specimen or grouped for a dramatic mass planting, this hydrangea brings color, texture, and charm to outdoor spaces with minimal effort.

Care Instructions

Planting
Choose a location with full sun to partial shade. Plant in early spring or fall, ensuring the root ball is level with the ground and spaced adequately for airflow.

Watering
Keep soil consistently moist during the first year. Once established, water deeply once or twice weekly, especially during hot, dry periods.

Pruning
Prune in late winter or early spring. Remove dead or weak stems and shape lightly to encourage strong new growth and larger blooms.

Pest Control
Monitor for aphids and spider mites. Use insecticidal soap or neem oil as needed and maintain good air circulation around the plant.

Soil Tips
Provide well-draining, fertile soil rich in organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral soil pH encourages optimal growth and flower color.
