=//Hydrangea paniculata// 'Limelight' ('Limelight' panicle hydrangea) =



This panicle hydrangea blooms very large, and lime green, in the mid-summer, ultimately turning pink in the fall season. This grows to be about 8 feet tall and 6 feet wide with very large, green leaves. In order for ample growth, it must be exposed to full sunlight or part shade. These are frequently used as showy flowers and are best grown in dry to medium moisture but are adaptable. This plant originated in Chine and Japan, where it was formally described by Philipp Franz von Siebold in 1829. Interestingly, it is sometimes smoked as an intoxicant, despite the danger of illness and/or death due to the cyanide.
