Perfect for landscapes with smaller footprints, Little Lime hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata ‘Jane’) provides the look and feel of an old-fashioned hydrangea without the need for a huge parcel of land to accommodate it. While many hydrangeas can grow to be 20 feet tall or more, Little Lime hydrangea reaches a comparatively diminutive 3-5 ft. These compact shrubs are suitable for use in hedges, foundation plantings, and even in cut flower arrangements. True to its name, Little Lime hydrangea initially produces lime-colored blooms on strong stems. Over the growing season, the flower color changes to white and, eventually, to a stately burgundy.
Meet the Little Lime Hydrangea
One of the panicle hydrangea types, Little Lime hydrangea puts out its charming floral cones beginning in early to mid-summer. Now, unlike other hydrangeas, Little Lime’s floral colors are not impacted by soil pH. What’s more, since its flower buds form on new wood, you won’t lose blooms to any unexpected last frosts. Little Lime hydrangeas thrive in USDA plant hardiness zones 3 through 8.
What makes Little Lime so special

(Also worth noting, Little Lime hydrangeas are patented plants, so taking cuttings to root and share with others is a no-no.)
