'Little Lime Punch' Panicle Hydrangea

FEATURES

You'll be drinking in the beauty Little Lime Punch® hydrangea serves up all season long. Similar to Little Lime®, its blooms emerge lime green, but they mature a little differently. Flowers change progressively from the bottom up in a gorgeous array of white, light pink, and rich Hawaiian Punch red! As it reblooms throughout the summer you'll see these four colors mix to create a truly memorable show. With a compact habit and strong stems, you'll find that it's as useful in the landscape as it is beautiful. 

Top reasons to grow Little Lime Punch® panicle hydrangea:

- Fantastic color show - a mix of white, green, and pink all on one bloom!

- Same useful, petite habit as Little Lime.

- Impactful fall color.
