For an easy way to achieve masses of flowers year in, year out, flowering shrubs take some beating, particularly the spectacular Hydrangea paniculata 'Limelight'. From early to late summer, it bears huge, dense, conical flowers; green at first, before fading to pale lime, and finally creamy white with an occasional flush of pink. Blooms can be seen on the plant at varying stages of maturity, giving an attractive, three-toned effect. This luxuriant, generous shrub is worthy of a prime spot in any garden, perfect for mixed borders, woodland edges, or as a specimen shrub in a minimalist display. Prefers neutral to acid soil, in dappled shade. Full sun will be tolerated if the soil does not dry out. As the name of this genus suggests, hydration is essential. As such, moist, well-draining soil is paramount. H&S: 2.5m x 2.5m. Hardy, deciduous shrub.
