💮💚 Limelights!💚💮
💮💚Limelight Alert! 💚💮
Many of you have been wanting Limelight hydrangeas.
Well!
I have lots of babies coming in mid-late next week! When I say babies, they are babies you all, but they will grow fast and *should fill out a trade gallon by late May if all goes well.
If you want to get them at this stage and grow 'em yourself, well that's alright too! I don't know why, but this Spring, Limelights have been hard to get, and sell quick.
It's said that they are the top selling hydrangea of all time. And let me tell you why...
They are cold hardy, heat tolerant, put on lots of growth each year and reliably bloom every summer. They have large icecream cone shaped blooms that start out lime(of course!), then get white(there's the light!), and then often take on a little pink blush late summer, then cream/antiqued white at the end of their season. Those are the perfect Victorian colors for those of us who like that! They dry and keep very well and are popular in dried flower arrangements and wreaths.
They can reach 10 ft tall in time, and are often trained into tree form. They can be kept at 5-6 ft.
I can't say enough about them. Hardy and beautiful, and probably my favorite hydrangea that can stand up to our brutal Summer heat and sun.
I will settle on their pricing when I get them and see their size and condition. Shipping is stressful on plants, but they bounce back fairly quickly.
I'll come back and add updates. As always, message anytime with interest or questions!
