Hydrangea paniculata 'Little Lime Punch'
- If you want bold colour in your garden, or multiple bold colours, then may we suggest hydrangea 'Little Lime Punch'? Starting out a bright lime/chartreuse, the flowers go on to develop wonderful shades of pink and red, illuminating the flower bed in the process.
- This variety has a long flowering period, blooming continuously from the middle of summer right the way through into the autumn months (sometimes as late as the back end of October).
- Robust and compact in nature, growing to just over one metre in height, 'Little Lime Punch' will look brilliant as a feature plant in mixed borders, as part of an informal flowering hedge, or even in a large patio pot.
- Although it can tolerate full sun, this hydrangea grows best in partial shade and would therefore make a lovely addition to woodland edge planting schemes, alongside foliage plants like ferns, hostas and heucheras.
- Ludicrously easy to care for, 'Little Lime Punch' is the perfect plant for busy gardeners, providing maximum impact for only minimal effort. What's not to like?
