Hydrangea, 2 gal, Limelight Prime®

The next generation of 'Limelight' is here! Introducing Limelight Prime® hydrangea. Like Limelight, but it blooms much earlier, creating a longer display. This is especially valuable in colder climates, where 'Limelight' might not bloom until late August. It has bolder, brighter color. As the green blooms age, they develop pink and red tones that are far more vivid and showy than conventional panicle hydrangeas. A Proven Winners® Color Choice® variety.
