Limelight PeeGee Hydrangea – Single Trunk Topiary Tree – 5 Gallon Pot

Growing in an upright form up to 10 feet tall and 6 feet or so wide, the Limelight Hydrangea makes an impressive single trunk tree form specimen. It’s excellent for use in small groupings or to mark each side of an entryway. Also a nice addition to mixed flowering shrub borders, as an accent in home foundation plantings, as a centerpiece in perennial gardens, and in large pots, planters or other containers of 18 inches or more in diameter. A fine addition to white color theme gardens and cut flower and cottage gardens.

Limelight Hydrangea is exceptionally easy to grow when planted right and in the right spot. Almost any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility will do. Limelight can take the heat at our location here in north-central Georgia, but it’s also exceptionally cold hardy, withstanding even the coldest winter temperatures as far north as USDA Zone 3a, where it will also tolerate full, all day sun. In the South, zones 7 and below, it will tolerate full sun, but we think it performs and looks its best with some filtered sun or dappled shade during the hottest hours of summer afternoons. At least 5 hours of direct sunlight per day or all day lightly filtered sun is suggested for best flowering. Too much shade and plants become floppy with diminished flowering.
