Give this special variety a place of honor in your landscape. Frankly, it's small enough to be used almost anywhere.
Plant several trees to ensure you have enough for incredible cut flower arrangements. These trees are so cute, you'll want more than one, anyway!
Try a pair flanking either side of your front doorway. You'll greet guests in high style.
Only have room for one? Tuck it in your foundation planting, reworking—or enlarging—the planting to make space, if needed.
Add several in a patio planting bed. Keep the design formal, with symmetrical spacing. Or, take a natural approach and create an informal grouping of these teeny-tiny trees.
Kids adore these, so add them near their play structure or playhouse. Perhaps they could decorate them for each holiday!
These special tree-form plants can be grown in large containers, as well. March several down the length of your terrace for an easy-breezy high style.
Add a container tree to decorate either side of your garage. Turn an eyesore into a pretty garden feature.
For a cheeky, cheery look—why not add them to a mass planting of Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea bushes? Repeat them every six to eight feet on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next.
#ProPlantTips for Care
Little Lime® Hydrangea Tree Form is super hardy, and simple to maintain. They are pest-free, cold hardy and heat tolerant.
Grow them in full sun or partial shade. They need at least four hours of direct sunlight a day to promote vigorous flowering.
However, please don't plant them in full shade positions. If they don't receive enough sunlight, they will develop thinner stems that may have trouble supporting the large flower heads. Full shade will also limit flower production.
In the hottest climates, they do appreciate afternoon shade. Give them a sheltered spot, if your geographic region is prone to high winds.
Be sure to keep the faded blooms on all winter long for visual interest. Prune one-third the length of the branches in early spring to evenly shape your plants and remove last year's blooms. You will want to prune the head of your small tree form back to about a three-foot ball on top of that trunk to maintain a plant in that 5-6' overall size.
Plant them in well-drained soil. Elevate your planting with a raised bed, or plant in containers if you have poorly drained soil.
Give your plants a regular, even amount of water regularly during the growing season. This is really important when the flowers are developing.
Provide good watering in late fall to protect your landscape plants over winter. Apply mulch in a three-inch layer over the root system to cut down on surface evaporation. Take care to ensure mulch is pulled back away from touching the trunk.
You can use slow-release fertilizer for flowering plants in early spring and again in mid-summer. Please follow the application rate directions on the label.
