Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, this exceptional flowering shrub is highly prized for its enormous cone-shaped flower heads, long flowering season, and spectacular changing colours throughout the year.
Hydrangea ‘Limelight’ is one of the most popular and reliable hydrangea varieties available, producing huge lime-green flower panicles from mid-summer onwards.

Supplied as a strong, healthy, well-established specimen, this extra-large shrub offers instant impact and excellent flowering performance from an early stage.
