Panicle hydrangea "Limelight": Spring cut belongs to the care
This hydrangea becomes an eye-catcher in your garden: with its up to 30 centimeters large, three-colored flowers, the up to two-meter-high, broad shrub stands out. Initially, the flowers are lime green, then continue to bloom in a bright white. When blooming, the large panicle turns pink.
Do I have to water the panicle hydrangea "Limelight" a lot?
Like all hydrangeas, the panicle hydrangea "Limelight" needs a lot of water, especially in sunny locations.
Should I water Limelight better with rainwater or tap water?
As panicle hydrangeas are very sensitive to lime, watering with soft rainwater would make sense. But you can also fill tap water and leave it for a few hours.
What is the best way to fertilize the panicle hydrangea "Limelight"?
Mulch "Limelight" in autumn with a thick layer of bark mulch, in spring with mature, mixed compost and possibly some peat. Also cattle manure is suitable for hydrangeas very well. If necessary, fertilize the plant with a special hydrangea fertilizer for rhododendrons or azaleas.
Does the hydrangea "Limelight" thrive in the tub?
"Limelight" is ideal for the tub culture.
How often should a hydrangea "Limelight" cultivated in a tub be repotted?
Hydrangeas should be repotted approximately every one to two years, with the size of the planter depending on the size of the plant. Since "Limelight" can be severely pruned, it does not necessarily get very big in the tub.
May I transplant a planted panicle hydrangea "Limelight"?
Yes, where the best time to transplant is either late summer / early fall or early spring, before the plant expels.
When and how do you cut the Hydrangea "Limelight"?
As with all panicle hydrangeas, pruning is also done with "Limelight" in spring, usually between mid-March and early April. The plant can be radically radical - d. H. up to 15 to 20 inches above the ground - to be cut back.
My hydrangea "Limelight" does not bloom, why is that?
If panicle hydrangeas do not flower, this is usually in a wrong location. In contrast to other species of hydrangea, panicle hydrangeas such as "Limelight" are not tolerated by shadows.
Is the panicle hydrangea "Limelight" hardy?
"Limelight" is very hardy and needs no winter protection.
Tips & Tricks
Due to their frost hardiness, a panicle hydrangea "Limelight" kept in the tub can also hibernate outdoors, albeit in a sheltered location and possibly with a light winter protection.
