Limelight tree?

[Anonymous]

Hi! Does anyone here have Limelight hydranga tree and do you recommend? We are starting from scratch doing our front of the house landscaping and want a small tree for the front corner of the house. Thanks!

Mine are bushes, not trees, but I love them. They look great for months from when they start setting buds to when the leaves fall off.

I have grown both the bush and tree type. The bushes get enormous in full sun, like 8 feet tall in 3-4 years, so keep that in mind. My tree has been much smaller so far but I am also growing it in partial shade. Really you can’t go wrong with the limelight...very easy plant and lots of beauty added to the landscape for such small effort in comparison with other eye catching shrubs and perennials.

I have one and I love it! It grew like crazy, almost to much. I cut it way back and it is leafing out right now- I was worried that I would hurt it, but it looks great!

There is a dwarf Limelight called Little Lime, which grows to about 5 ft. There are also pink varieties of the Limelight type ( hydrangea paniculata) under the trade names of Pillow Talk and Zinfin Doll.

Bumping this. Is it too late to plant a limelight bush? Any tips?
