Fall Bloom from Our Limelight Hydrangeas

Talk about a plant that just keeps on giving! This is a bloom from one of our Limelight Hydrangeas just beginning to transition into its beautiful Fall colors.

The name says it all, the blooms start out as a lovely lime green color in the Summer and will bloom profusely throughout the season. Then the magic happens. Fall arrives and the blooms change into a less vivid green all while adding pink and burgundy tones. Perfect for lending interest to your Fall landscape. Available in the nursery.
