Why we love it
All the charm of Limelight in a smaller package.
Hydrangeas are among the most reliable shrubs for long summer colour.

Planting and aftercare
Plant between autumn and spring and keep well watered in dry spells. Prune in early spring, cutting last year’s stems back to a strong pair of buds.
