Thank you so much Robert , always enjoy reading your comments ! So glad you find the videos helpful 😊😊🌸👍
Thanks for the tips. I’m very new to the flower world. The previous homeowner had beautiful hydrangeas and I’m determined to maintain them. Last year my hydrangeas didn’t bloom because I unintentionally pruned them down during winter. They are back!
Omg I love you! I didn't know floral paint was a thing. Thank you for sharing your beauty with the world. Your garden is a dream

Viewing from Northeast Ohio - love all your videos, thank you for the informative gardening tips!
I'm so glad you are enjoying the channel 👍 Thank you for checking in from Northeast Ohio 🌸👍👋🌎🤗
Just planted three of these guys around my A/C units on the side of my house in NC
Thanks for another fabulous video with so many helpful tips. This is one of my absolute favorite plants. I made an arrangement for church last year, and the arrangement is still pretty this year, about 10 months later. I have tried spray paint before without good success, so I will try the one you named. We have vanilla-strawberry hydrangeas that only stay pretty about 3 days or so before looking burned. We irrigate 4 mornings weekly. I wonder if the problem is because we live in the South.

The Limelights I have in this video are about 6 years old but they have always given me lots of gorgeous blooms even when they were younger plants . Happy Hydrangea-ing🌸🌸🌸🌸💃💃
I love hydrangeas! And you are right - I forgot to give them enough water and they are burnt now. I will know for next year.

HI KELLY--OUR LIMELIGHT BLOOMED, AND WERE SO PRETTY
THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR VIDEO'S--HUGGS.
Hi Garry 👋 I'm so happy to hear about your limelights 🌸🌸 I always love reading your comments , thank you !
Very beautiful flowers and very informative video. Thanks and regards from Islamabad Pakistan
Hey Khalib, thank you for checking in from Islamabad Pakistan 🌍👋
Hi Kelly. My Nieces name too. We bought 4 from Sarah Raven here in England who is well known.. Came quite small, had a few leavee kn them. They are doing well they are in small pots, we will plant them in larger ones next year. They look healthy. They look so small looking at yours lol I will let you onow how they are doing x Yours look stunning. Much love from England x
Thanks for sharing the info! I’m in zone8a and just planted a few of these last week. Limelight, Bobo and Little Lime. Bobo and Little lime already has blooms on them when I got it from Calloway, but the batch of Limelight is small and no blooms yet. It’s already end of July, do you think it will bloom soon?
Beautiful! Hi from NC
Thank you Vickie 🌸😊
Thank you for checking in from North Carolina 🌍👏👋🌸😊
Kelly your Limelights are gorgeous. My favourite plant in my garden. For many years our 3 limelights have been fantastic, super showy but the last 2 years the flowers have got quite small and the plants themselves look leggy and bare at the ground. They get watered and new soil around the base but they just look like they are old and struggling. They are about 10 years old. Any tips on how I can give them new life? I do prune them very late fall of just the flowers.

Hey there Ontario Canada👋🌎 Thanks for checking in! 🌸
Great video! I just moved last year to beautiful Oregon into a house with two young hydrangeas that looked a lot like the limelight. So I'm guessing they are the limelight hydrangea. They are planted within 3 feet of each other and seem very close. Do you think I should spread them out and what time of year is good for transplanting? Thank you!!

Stumbled onto your channel and I’m loving it. Thank you.
The lime lite in this video, does it have a specific name? I’m looking for one that has a very strong stem, I don’t like the heads to flop. I’m trying to learn about them, so please excuse any obvious questions/answers. Thank you very kindly.

Hi please advise your recommendation for a small town garden in shady am and sun pm. We have trees hanging over from a wood at the back of our garden and this is where I would dearly love a year round display of beautiful hydrangeas. I am a novice gardener so am trying to create a garden I can enjoy at last! 🇬🇧🙏🏻
안녕하세요
너무 아름답습니다🌺🌿🌿🌿🌹
What a wonderful channel you have and absolutely gorgeous garden!!! May i ask, is the Limelight you are showing in this video multiple plantings or just one? I just bought one today. The label noted 6'-8' mature size. But i keep seeing that they can grow upwards of 13'! 😮 I'm wondering if i need to plant it in a wide open space or in my shrub bed where i intended? (I also bought a Little Lime which i may decide to put in the shrub bed instead.) Do the Little Limes get much bigger than what their label implies?
My limelights have a faint blush pink and that is all. Intrigued you took your hedger to some of your limelights, done that.
Hey, from NC here! Love the lime lights, What is the best spot to plant them in? Full sun? AM sun, etc! Thanks
Hi Kelly your garden looks Beautifil. we have 4 i Plantnns in 4 Pots. We are Putting them into new larger Pots. Compost any Tips?x When we bought them they were little Twigs 2 years a go. We are moving to a larger House with hopefully 10 Acres in a few years. Wei do not want the Plants to be too tall..x.
Hi Kelly, I’m a new subscriber and I’m loving all your videos! I would like to plant 3 or 4 limelight hydrangeas in my yard this year, should I plant this spring or wait until fall? I’m up north in Massachusetts. Thank you!
Hi Suzanne , great question . You could plant the limelight hydrangeas in spring or fall. If I were you , I would just dive right in and get them planted in the spring . Make sure you have a sunny location for them since they love sun and make sure you dig the hole larger then the root ball so the roots have a chance to spread out in easy to break through soil and get established . Also remember to provide plenty of water ( without over watering ) . The tag on your limelight hydrangeas should give you advice on how much water they need . Also remember to break up the roots in the root ball if they are dry and knitted together tightly . So excited you will be growing these . They are amazing as fresh and dry cut flowers for you home . Happy gardening 🌸😊
Thanks for checking in from Massachusetts 👋🌍. Welcome to our Flower Tribe 🌸❤️😊
Can these be grown in zone 9b/10a ? If not is there an alternative ( not the macrophylla, i want one for a sunny location)
I have 20 limelight hydrangeas (3 gallon pots) ready to be planted as a hedge here in Seville Ohio. How far apart would you suggest digging each hole? Your plants appear massive! Im concerned the suggested 7-8 feet apart isnt enough.
That accent is heavenly
I have similar grow zone as Jersey. When do these bloom?
I’m in PA 6b
How do the limelights do in less-intense sun?
I wonder if a variety of these plants can grow in containers?
Do you think Bobo do okay in full sun? Ty
On the tag of my strawberry shake hydrangea indicates to feed regularly .
What does it mean to feed regularly? How often should I feed the plant? What kind of fertilizer would you use to feed regularly? The slow release one or the the powder one that needs to mix in the water?
Will you still feed it after August?
Thanks.
Hey there , so sorry but I haven’t grown strawberry shake hydrangea and I’m not familiar with it’s fertilizing needs . Have you tried doing a google search for this ? 🤗🌸
😍😍😍😍
🌸🌸🌸
Wow how do i get it to grow so tall... is this a single plant abd is it on a stem? I guess it must be very old?
It's about ten years old but was this large for about 4 years already. I don't give it any special care other then some extra watering when temps are super hot and there is no rain in sight.
Hi Kelly, love your videos! I live in CT and didn’t prune my lime of light hydrangea because I’d like to get smaller flowers for arrangements. Should I trim off the old flowers now and leave the rest of the branches?!? Normally, I cut back this plant a lot each year and it grows like crazy with tons of huge flowers!
I have a hydrangea tree as well that I feel like I have to prune heavily each year because the branches are very long and thin. It seems no matter how much I cut them back, they grow back to the same size each year!! Any advice?
Hey Jeff Yep that’s the nature of the beast with hydrangeas as far as going back to their natural size even after we prune them I don’t know that there was a way around that you may consider growing a smaller variety like little lime. I am also a fan of not pruning back my limelight hydrangeas because I also like the smaller blooms plus it’s less work😃
Thank you for checking in from Connecticut🌸🌎🌻🤗👏
Question: I have 2 very young limelights - just 1 stalk with a few leaves, planted in a large container about a month ago, added Espoma Biotone when planted, mulched with cedar. The plant is hardly growing. I water it about 3 times a week. Are they slow growing?? Thank you.
It takes a while for these Limelight Hydrangeas to start getting large . Be patient . You are doing all the right things .
I love your cute dress.🥰🥰
Thank you flower friend 😊🌸
Hi,
I have my hydrangeas in a self watering pot...unfortunately it was dried and I lost most of the blooms due to extreme heat of Queensland, Australia. Is there a way to help them to give a second blooms?
You may need to wait for fresh blooms to appear next year since many hydrangeas only bloom once a year. To make sure your hydrangea has the best chance of coming back strong , make sure the size of the pot is still good. Hydrangeas tend to get larger in size in the beginning years and their roots need lots of space to spread out. If the roots are all tangled together in a pot that is too small, they will not be able to absorb the water and soil nutrients they need. This may be why your plant dried out even though it was getting watered . The water may have gotten trapped on the outside of the root mass and never made it up to the plant . Consider tranferring it to a larger pot if necessary and if the roots seem all jammed up and tightly bound together, take a knife and slice the sides of the the roots and the bottom roots of the plant to break them up. Dont worry about hurting the plant by doing this. Then break up some of the root tightness with your hands. This is will help the plant establish a better root system where it can get the water and nutrients it needs . You can also sprinkle some compost in the new pot along with fresh soil to help your plant. Make sure your plant gets 6-8 hours of sunlight and keep up on the watering . Good luck getting this hydrangea to bloom again next year . Let me know how she did . 🙂🌺
Your hydrangeas are absolutely beautiful. are they for business if so then good luck.
Thank you . Yes , I sell them in burlap wrapped bouquets. 🌻🌻
I have had my standard Hydrangea for three years now I noticed it is leaning is it safe to stake it now to keep it straight?
Hey there flower friend, I have the same issue with a few of mine . The reason mine are bent is because other plants got too tall and now cast a shadow over it blocking the sun that hits it . My plant is bending towards the sun .
Yes you can stake it but if it is not thriving in a year if two and you feel you have the same issue , you may want to move it in fall to a sunnier location . Good luck !🍀👍 🌸
Im in Union....are these still available for sale?
My shrub gets afternoon sun and looks like lits miserable. Should i move it?
How do limelight hydrangeas do near or under black walnut trees? Thanks, from Jacinta Roelands
Although many plants have a hard time growing under black walnut trees, hydrangeas don’t seem to be affected by the the black walnut’s allelopathic substance - juglone- that other other plants are sensitive to .
Hi,,thank you for all the info,enjoyed looking at the hight of the blooms,,,you have a new subbie now,,,stay safe ,,,cheers,,,
How many pots did you use for this area? Thank you
Sorry not sure I understand your question . If you mean how many potted plants do I bring in from plant stores to plant this garden I’m not even sure I can give an accurate number . I would imagine between 50 and 100 . Many if the plants reseeded themselves or spread out in their own but I still had to do a ton of digging . This garden is also more then 10 years old so I’ve been working on it for a long time . Hope I answered you question 🌸😊
Hi Kelly, I want my limelights to grow tall, should i cut them back or just let them grow naturally? P.S im in NJ too. Spring Lake.
I recently planted some limelights, 7' apart. I'm seeing many planting their hedge only 3-4' apart. Ahhhh! Is my 7' too far apart? Mine don't need to be a hedge per se, but I'd like them to grow together to where you don't know where one ends and another begins. I'm in Delaware, so similar growing conditions to you.
Not to worry . Planting them seven feet apart was very smart . I have a few on mine planted 5 feet apart from each other and I wish I had planted them seven feet apart since they get so huge . You are fine . Leave them be and enjoy them each year . 👏👏👏🤗
@@KellyLehman Thank you Kelly. I share the same concern as Loofah Life. I live in zone 5 and am planting 6 limelights in a row. Similar to Loofah Life, I would like to see my limelights growing into each other where one cannot see the end or the beginning of each limelight but I also don't want them to look "jammed". Would you say 7' is sufficient, or 8' is better? Or should I even space them out at 10'?
@@KellyLehman Thank you! I left them, pruned them a little this week, and new growth is starting to appear! I can't wait to see what they look like in year 2. I might even plant a few more.
Can you recommend a local place to purchase limelight in the Middletown area?
Hi Jesse , I find have found some of my hydrangeas in the past @lowes and @homedepot . If you don’t see them their , call you local garden center . I also have a bunch listed on my “plants for your garden” page in my Amazon shop . Here is the link

Good luck finding them 👍🌸🤗
Hi, I need advice from you.
Stella from Oklahoma (temp 90-95 now, and will be up to 100 F soon in July).
I planted a limelight hydrangea last October using cow manure mixed with garden soils (50:50). I applied this mixtures again this March when the new leaves started coming up. I also water with super bloom (12:55:6), and Miracid between April and May in different occasions. After that I just water the plant 1 time per day, but I don’t get any blooms at all. Is it bc I fertilized too much?
Somehow you have never talked about how you fertilized your hydrangeas, Is it bc you have never fertilized them?
A lot of people mentioned that they don’t get any blooms once they fertilized their hydrangeas, although they planted in the bad soils.
The spot I planted my limelight hydrangea in an area where it receives the morning sun until 12 pm and becomes shady after 1:00 pm. With watering 1 time per day, it still drys out and almost all leaves have dropped. I started covering it with a light cloth when it gets too hot and water it one more time in the afternoon. will I end up killing the plant? What will you do in my situations to help it survive they the summer here and bloom. Please advise. Thank you so much. Enjoy watching your videos!!
Hey there , super questions and thank you for being so descriptive. This helps me diagnose your issue . I hardly ever fertilize my hydrangeas. They all give me tons of blooms so I leave them alone . If your soil has too much nitrogen your plant will have lovely green leaves but the high nitrogen will inhibit bloom growth . I also think you are over watering which is why the leaves are dropping off . To see if the plant needs water , simple out your finger in the ground about an inch or two. If it is dry , it needs water . If it’s wet , leave it alone . Over watering may cause root rot which can harm the plant , stop bloom production and cause leaves to drop off . Good luck 🌸
Thank you for checking in from Oklahoma 👋🌍😊
Also,
1. how often do you water your hydrangeas over the winter?
Do you still put fingers into the soils to see if they are dry or wet in the ground in the winter to decide if they need to be watered?
2. What types of soils do you mix to plant your hydrangeas?
I appreciate you show us how you water your hydrangeas when planting it to the ground. I normally would give them a real soak, and maybe that is why each one of them died.
However, I often run into yellow leaves or rotten leaves looking issues every time after I water my hydrangeas.
They are planted in the shade and I only water them every other week once my fingers feel a little bit dry in the soils.
It seems like they only like to be misted instead of really water into the soils.
I really don’t understand how can people mentioned that they water their hydrangeas everyday. What’s your thought on this?
Your answers are very very helpful for the beginner like me. Thank you so much.
Great video! I keep getting mixed reviews. How will these lime light grow in part shade 2 hours morning sun, 2 hours late afternoon sun? Thanks
I always read that they live full sun but mine do best in morning sun and afternoon shade . The ones in full sun tend to have the flowers burn up on hot weeks .
Thank you Kelly! Is the lighting more important in summer? I get better sun coverage in the summer. Not as much toward late fall.
I think that as long as it gets 6-8 hours of sunlight a day it should flourish . 🤗
@@KellyLehman wow thanks for the personal tip Kelley. I read that it can tolerate heat so I’ve plan to put mine in the ground in spot that gets full sun. It would definitely be toasted here in CA’s heat. We get hi 90s and sometimes triple digits.
I potted limelight's in pots this spring and they looked beautiful for awhile (I'm zone 9). They get morning sun and evening shade. Mod summer the leaves turned brown and fell off and now the blooms all brown. I don't know what to do to rescue them. I hear water them more and then I hear water them less. I need some help!! Starter gardener here so I'm flying blind lol. Any help would be appreciated! I can send pictures of them too if that helps diagnose the issue
Limelights get huge and they grow fast so they probably won't do good in pots at all. The pots will constrict the roots. The dryness and browning sounds like they weren't getting enough water. I would get them in the ground and water every time the top of the soil feels dry. I am also in zone 9 and am wanting hydrangeas. Keep me updated on how it goes if you can.
I just purchased a limelight hydrangea and it was beautiful when I left the nursery. I came home and planted it and it seems to be dying or burning up and it’s only been 3 days. I’ve watered it everyday including the roots. Will it re-bloom?
Hey there, plants need some time to get established when they are planted . I think you are over watering though . The rule of thumb is to check the soil around the base of the plant by sticking your finger in the soil about an inch or two . If it is dry , then water the plant . If it is moist , leave it alone. If you over watering it , you can cause root rot from having the roots sit in water that doesn’t have time to drain . Good luck .
Kelly Lehman This is great information! Thank you so much for responding.
Ms, Is Limelight hydrangeas and White Wedding hydrangea same ? Thank
Super question . The White Wedding Hydrangea is a different hydrangea the Limelight . Limelight grow much taller . The White Wedding Hydrangea is a much more compact hydrangea🌼☺️
Hi! I just planted my limelight a few weeks ago they were fine but now the leaves are starting to turn yellow. What should I do? I really hope its ok.
Same thing is happening to mine. I planted it 1 week ago. I was told I put too much dirt on top of the root ball. I cleared some off so I can see the top of root ball. Also, I have no idea if I am overwatering or not watering enough.
😊🌳😊🌳😊🌳😊🌳😊🌳😊
Haaaa thank you 😊😊😊🌸🌸🌸
Kelly, how fast can I expect a 3 gallon limelight to grow to 5 ft. I am in eastern pa.
This may take a few years but soooo worth the hydrangea wait time ! 🌸🌸😊😊😊🤗🤗
Thank you for checkin gin from eastern PA 😊🌸🌻🤗👏👍🌍
I’m so afraid of planting hydrangeas due to being in zone 9b pleas help !!! I want something short .
i found some information for you regarding hydrangeas that do well in your zone . hope this helps .
How to Grow Zone 9 Hydrangeas
source ➡️ www.hunker.com/13428422/how-to-grow-zone-9-hydrangeas
...
Hydrangeas grown in acidic soil produce pink flowers.
Afternoon shade is extremely important if you wish to grow hydrangeas in zone 9. Hydrangeas are hardy from zones 4 through 9, and the heat in zone 9 means hydrangeas need extra protection. Because hydrangeas prefer moist, well-draining soil, they need a shady spot to keep the soil from drying out too quickly. While it is possible to grow many of the most popular hydrangea varieties in zone 9, consider growing the native oakleaf hydrangea (Hydrangea quercifolia), an understory, shade-loving shrub.
Does deer eat lime light hydrangea ?
Why my limlight hydrangeas drooping after it rains..nd how to prevent drooping
My hydrangeas are really tall. Heavy rain mad them fall over onto the ground. Should I prune or Is there a remedy to prevent weak limbs?
If it is a Limelight hydrangea, I would wait until winter when you are sure the plant is dormant and then cut back the stems that fell to the ground . Try not to cut more the one third of the plant when you prune it . 🌸
@@KellyLehman thank you. They are limelights * about 6ft tall. My gardner put stakes in the ground, and tied them up beautifully. Giving them a nice lift.
Can you plant Little Limelight in the summer months?
Great hydrangea question . Yes you can . Make sure you provide enough water especially when planting and in hot days . Hydrangeas do best when planted in fall though so if you can wait until then that would be best . Spring is the second best time to plant them. However , if you already gave the plant , I would get her in the ground . Good luck 🌸🌸🌻
Thank you Kelly
Do they like full sun? We are in Toronto.
Super question ! Yes . Limelight hydrangea love full sun . 👍👏🌸
Thank you for checking in from Toronto 👋🌎👏👍
@@KellyLehman just bought 1 to see if I can keep it growing like yours.
I got a couple limelight last year they were actually shipped to me and they did not arrive in very good shape..
I got them in the ground And I cannot believe it but they lived I was very much on the edge of sending them back...but where I planted them I have a feeling they're not gonna be getting enough Sun my question is should I move them to another area I have that gets Sun pretty much all day..
My Question is:
Can Limelight handle or I have Phantom hydrangea Which could handle more hot Sun throughout the day
( Probably and till 3 o'clock)
I'm here in Texas by the way I have been very fortunate last year was my 1st year to grow hydrangea and my whole front of my house inside ranger there's still all very young but stunning Am I can laugh because I've always said that I would kill a fake plant they not know how in the world I am having said good luck with these
It sounds like you have a green thumb Lisa. I would wait a year to see how they do where you have them planted now . You are in such a sunny state that the partial sunny exposure may be enough for them . give them a season and see how they do . I've had great luck with Limelight hydrangea blooming year after year in both partial and full sun here in NJ . Good luck . Let me know how they do at the end of the summer !🙂🌻
Thank you for checking in from Texas 👋🌍🙂Welcome to our Flower Tribe !
Hello Kelly,
I'm designing a garden that is in zone 7b . Hydrangeas are going to be the main plants in the garden. Will the Limelight Hydrangea do well in filtered sun environment?
Hey there , limelight is such an amazing hydrangea to have as your main plant for a garden . Here is some information I looked up for you regarding sunlight for limelight hydrangeas ....
While garden hydrangeas need shade to do well in our climate, panicle hydrangeas like Limelight thrive in full sun to part shade (six to eight hours or more of direct sun). It seems odd to plant these hydrangeas in full sun, but they love it. Plants are not as stocky and full as garden hydrangeas and do not bloom as well if planted in too much shade.

Happy growing .
Are these the same as vanilla strawberry hydrangeas?
Super hydrangea question. Limelight hydrangeas are a different variety then vanillas strawberry . Limelights turn green with a tinge of pink in fall . 😊🌸
Kelly Lehman thanks for the clarification. These vanilla strawberries are hard to find! I don’t even see people talking about them on TH-cam much.
How do you differentiate limelight from little lime aside from size?
The difference in the size of the actual plants is the biggest thing that differentiates them . The size of their blooms will also be very different . Thank you for your hydrangea question 👏😀
Their leaves shape and size are the same as well? Thanks for the reply.
Does frost affect Limelight and Incrediball Hydrangeas?
Are these deer resistant?
Deer usually don’t prefer hydrangeas but will eat them if they are hungry enough .
