Comments: 'Limelight' is a mounded easy-to-care-for hydrangea. During the summer, large chartreuse conical-shaped flower heads cover the shrub. Come fall, these flowers will fade towards a pink color. Unlike many hydrangeas, the soil pH does not affect the flower color, and the flowers form on the new wood.
