Little Lime Punch™ Panicle Hydrangea

This compact selection from Proven Winners® has it all! Reblooming Little Lime Punch™ Panicle Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata 'SMNHPH') stays small but delivers a big visual impact in full sun or partial shade! Over a long season, an array of colors of these showy, conical flowers progress from the bottom up. Enjoy white, light pink, and rich Hawaiian Punch red in a dynamic display - all appearing on the same plant!

This vivid color-changing show starts in early summer and continues through fall. Backed by a dense clump of handsome green leaves with the characteristic Panicle Hydrangea quilting and toothy edges, these are fantastic deciduous Panicle Hydrangea for an incredibly wide range of growing zones! You and your neighbors will be delighted with the tasteful red fall color, too!

Strong stems hold the blooms upright without flopping; be sure to cut a long length of the stem to create pretty indoor flower arrangements. Let the water in your vase evaporate over time to dry them in place for a wintertime décor.

Planting and Application:

Anywhere you plant Little Lime Punch becomes a Cutting Garden. Include your other favorites like Coneflower, Sea Holly and Goldenrod for many years of rustic flower power! En masse really kicks the curb appeal up a few notches, or just one specimen of these dramatic bushes in your Perennial garden, front or back porch planting, or a pair standing guard at the entrance to your home's driveway!

Consider Little Lime Punch as a dramatic accent plant to juice up your ho-hum foundation plantings. Their bold color truly "pops" against mature evergreens.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant Little Lime Punch Hydrangea in either full sun or partial shade where it will receive at least four hours of direct sunlight a day. Well-drained soil is best, but you won't need to worry about soil pH with this adaptable choice! Panicle Hydrangeas bloom on new wood, so prune it back by a third in early spring. Remove crossing branches and any branches that may be damaged at that time.

• Full Sun & Partial Shade
• Moderate Moisture & Well-Drained Soil
• Prune Early Spring Before New Growth Starts
• Blooms on New Wood
• Adaptable to Most Soil Types
