I planted quart size, in early June , now it’s about 2-3 feet tall, and full of flowers. It’s flowers are beautiful at every stage. They come out chartreuse green, turn pure white and then begins to turn pink. Videos don’t do this one justice. Somehow camera never capture the Beaty of young flowers. I saw dozens of videos but it took my breath away when I saw the actual flower on my plant. They are terrific . Just get one and see for yourself. It will make you HAPPY gardener.
Thank you for those helpful comments, all of it is true. That's why I like to go regularly into garden centers and just stroll around. Its amazing how different the plants look in reality.
Absolutely, they look lovely in containers and planters. Here's a link to a video we filmed earlier this year: th-cam.com/video/PLjOwzIQn0M/w-d-xo.html, where I planted an early flowering type (Early Evolution) into a planter. If you watch in at the 6.57 minute mark, you'll see how it turned out. To protect the roots from freezing solid during the worst of the winter the planter might have to be moved to a sheltered spot, wrapped in insulation material or brought into a garage or basement.
Our experience is limited to our Mid-Atlantic and Northeast region but my understanding is that it is outside of the upper zone. Best, to talk to your local garden center people and check with them. They know your local conditions, they will know what plants thrive and which ones don't! And the other thing I would suggest is that you keep an eye out as drive around you neighborhood, because if you see plants doing well in other people's gardens in your area, they are likely to do well for you too. Panicle hydrangeas (with their big, bright flower heads) are easy to spot.
Absolutely, Little Lime has become a timeless classic, one that is regularly stocked at our partnering network garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ when you visit ask them about it and if at that time it is not actually in stock, the chances are that they will be able to arrange to get it in for you.
I just planted this last week! It is so so beautiful I'll enjoy it for many years! How often should I fertilize and when? (I didn't when I planted it) Thank you so much for all the informative content you've been sharing with all of us :)
Great to hear. It is a wonderful variety and like you say, one that you "WILL ENJOY for MANY years"! You can fertilize it early next year in spring just before growth starts. Incidentally, when we grow our plants we use a special slow release fertilizer that keeps on feeding them after they leave the nursery and often..... even now when you have planted it! So, next spring when your plant has established its root system in its new position that's when it will be able to take advantage of the fertilizer you give it. Just be careful to follow the directions on the package and don't over do it! Sometimes people are a little so generous and that can lead to problems. As to frequency, that depends on the type of fertilizer, so again follow the directions, but FYI, I usually just feed my plants once in spring. If you have good soil and prepared a good planting position and added planting compost etc. this is usually enough to suffice.
@@OverdevestNurseries Thanks so much for the advice :) I do have really good soil from being amended over the years. I only wish we could get Espoma products such as their Biotone here in Ontario, Canada!
Thanks for your question, but I am afraid our only experience growing it, is here in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern USA region. The only thing I suggest is that you contact some of your local nursery or garden center operators and be guided by their on the spot expertise.
In its own way, Little Lime is a special selection, but it shouldn't be described as a "small Limelight" because there are several other shorter, white flowering selections that are much more like the incomparable Limelight! When you get a chance, you might like to take a little time and scroll through some of the videos we have here on this channel to review these, and then take yourself over to some of our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ to see the plants in their glorious reality.

Finally, now that our partnering garden centers: grownbyoverdevest.com/retail-locator/ are fully stocked with fresh new plants, if you live in our Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern region be sure to stop in and take a look….

Absolutely gorgeous
Thank you! 😊
Yes it is neat, hardy and easy to grow too!

Do they turn reddish in fall?
@@sunshine-db2zm Yes. Not Coca-Cola red but beautiful rusty red.
Simply the best out there today. Overdevest.
Thank you.
Love them💚🙃
Thanks
Can you grow hydrangeas in a planter? Would like to see a video of this!

Can I plant a lime light hydrangea here in CA zone10? Full sun, part , or shade ? Hope you can help😀

This video is 2 years old, I hope I can still buy this Hydrangea plan? Please respond to my request.

Hi David how about the new quickfire fab hydrangea?
We have them in our test garden and young plants in production and we plan create a video once we get them flowering - so stay tuned
Hi hydrangea lovely 😍
We agree.

Do they turn pink and then red?
The flowers persist well, and as they age they take on pleasant pink-bronze shades.
@@OverdevestNurseries is there a panicle variety that turns pink and red and stays 4-5 feet tall and wide for foundation planting?
I live in the country of PANAMA in zone 11 can this Hydrangea little lime shrubs survive her

Very disappointed by little lime because every one says it is a small version of limelight but the flowers stay light green, never white.
