Even the foliage takes part in the color show, bearing red and purple streaks in fall
'Little Lime' Hydrangea is a beautiful and prolific flowering dwarf plant about one-third the size of its cousin 'Limelight'. These beautiful flowering plants are a pleasing shade of pale, lime green all summer long. The lime green of the flowers contrast beautifully with the rich, verdant, toothed foliage that surrounds them.
'Little Lime' is ideal for containers, borders, or hedges as it only reaches 3 to 5 feet in height and width, unlike other hydrangea varieties. As an additional source of color in this already eye-catching display, the green foliage has red and purple accents in autumn.
These hydrangeas are easy to grow and addictive to look at. The best part is, this plant is drought resistant and hardy, and able to be grown in many climates and Zones. This variety of flower is great for butterfly gardens as well. Plant in a sunny area with some native plants mixed in. Since butterflies and native plants have 'co-evolved', there is a greater likelihood of them visiting your garden if a few native plants are included.
