2 Panicle Hydrangrea Shipped - Only 1 Survived

Nature Hills Nursery shipped 2 Tidbit Panicle Hydrangeas to my home in the same container. One arrived in good condition and the other was essentially dead. I have planted the good Hydrangea, and it seems to be doing well in my garden. I recommend different packaging when shipping 2 plants together. Both plants should have their base pot on the same side of the container with verbiage on the box stating, "This Side Up". The 1 that did not make it was planted with the base pot facing the opposite direction of the other plant. When the box got turned "upside down" in relation to the Hydrangea that arrived in good condition, some of the moist soil in the "bad" plant apparently fell out.

Communication was terrible, the hydrangea was in terrible shape upon arrival

First of all, the communication with this company has to be the worse I've ever experienced, it took almost 3 months before I got the oakleaf hydrangea( I emailed this company several times regarding the shipping info with no response) not to mention that I ordered a red slipper but got a alice white hydrangea (they charged me for a red slipper tho)
Upon arrival, this plant was in terrible shape, broken new growth, torn leaves and not enough soil around its roots, the box it came in looked like it had been kicked around. Now that the hydrangea has been planted and being cared for it looks much better.
Unfortunately!!!
I won't be ordering from this company ever again

Terrible quality Azure Skies Hydrangeas

Terrible quality Azure Skies Hydrangeas. I ordered #3 pots and they took 3 smaller plants, bundled them together and shoved them into a #3. When you plant them the root systems are not even established so they literally fall apart. As you can see from the photos they are terrible quality. Avoid avoid avoid and go support your local nursery instead.

ZERO Customer Service

I ordered two of these plants. I received one, dying little plant. Emails have gone unanswered. If you call, you get their voicemail and no one will call you back. The website says “use our live chat”, but that does not exist. I got scammed by this company.

Disappointed in this one

Disappointed in this one. It looked less than healthy when received, dead leaves in the box and some were deformed and spotty. As a new gardener I thought it was just in shock from travel and planted right away. Watered often and kept removing the damaged leaves. Today I noticed fine webs on the underside, suspect spider mites. Removed bad leaves again and washed the plant. Hoping it survives. Bought 3 different shrubs, this was the largest and most costly unfortunately. Satisfied with my other plants

I Loved these!

I Loved these! I had a pink Victorian home so wanted the White Annabelle Hydrangeas. - After a couple years they were so full and beautiful year after year. They recommended the Root booster for about $15 and added that as well. You will not regret buying these. Beautiful year after year!

Worst experience ever

Plant arrived dead. I’ve reached out multiple ways email, chat support, social media(they deleted my comment) it’s been over a week now so might as well just take this as a loss and never order from this company ever again. Google the reviews. Search Facebook. Plenty of negative reviews saying this is a scam. I should have done more research on this company.

Shes Beautiful!

Very first time planting this flower, coming from Houston Texas. I was a little nervous since these plants require a lot of care and water but she has been doing so well!!! I water her twice. Early morning before work (6am) and after sun down (after 7pm). I placed some mulch on the pot so that has been helpful at keeping the soil moist. I was really afraid of drowning her or giving too much water mostly in the early afternoon where the sun was starting to burn through leaves due to me giving it water at 5pm. Shes blossoming beautifully and cannot wait until shes fully open. I also recently purchased her back at the beginning/mid May. Very fast shipping too!

Hi there! Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for our Endless Summer Bigleaf Hydrangea. We're so happy to hear that it's doing well in your care and that you're taking such good care of her. It sounds like you have a great watering routine in place and the mulch is definitely a helpful addition. We hope you continue to enjoy watching her blossom and thank you for choosing our product. Happy gardening!

Annabelle is doing great

Annabelle arrived a bit dehydrated and that worried me. So I pampered her with water, light shade and clipped any leaves that were concerning. After a week or so, she perked up and now has a lot of good new growth. I am glad I treated the hydrangea with patience because that was all it really needed.

All good so far

It's alive and growing, and extremely thirsty for gallons of water. Mine is a #3 size shrub, tall enough to have a noticeable "front" and "back." The front has a fuller look, more flowering branches, and the back has taller branches at the top and more spindly stems down the side. Probably from its orientation at the nursery. I planted it back to front before I noticed this growing pattern, but I expect after a year or two with pruning, the shape will even out. It already attracts pollinators to the pretty flowers. I've seen tiny native bees and honeybees checking it out, so we're good to go!

So far, so good! 👍

I was thrilled to find original Quick Fire for sale, because Proven Winners discontinued that variety several years ago. The plant is doing great, but I'm reserving judgement until I see that it is original Quick Fire and not one of the derivative varieties. I have all my documents just in case...

Frequently Asked Questions

What USDA hardiness zones is Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea suitable for?

  • Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea thrives in USDA zones 3-8, handling both hot and cold climates with excellent hardiness. This adaptable shrub tolerates extreme temperatures while maintaining its vigorous growth habit. Plant in spring after frost danger passes for best establishment.

How tall and wide does Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea grow at maturity?

  • Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea reaches 3-5 feet tall with an equal spread at maturity. This compact size makes it perfect for urban landscapes, foundation plantings, or hedging. Plant with adequate spacing to accommodate its full mature width for best results.

What are the planting instructions for Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea, including hole size and soil amendments?

  • Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper than the container height. Little Lime® thrives in well-draining soil and doesn't require special amendments in most garden soils. Plant at the same depth it was growing in the pot and water thoroughly after planting.

When is the best time to prune Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea and how should I do it?

  • Prune Little Lime® in late winter or early spring before new growth begins, since it blooms on new wood. Cut back by one-third to half for best flower production. Remove any dead, damaged, or weak stems first, then shape as desired to maintain the 3-5' size.

How much water does Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea need, and why might it wilt despite watering?

  • Little Lime® needs consistent moisture but is surprisingly drought tolerant once established. Wilting despite watering usually indicates overwatering or poor drainage, which can suffocate roots. Check soil moisture 2-3 inches down before watering again - this hardy variety available at naturehills.com prefers slightly moist, well-draining soil.

What type of soil and mulch is best for Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea?

  • Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea thrives in well-draining soil with average moisture and tolerates various pH levels. This drought-tolerant shrub adapts to most soil conditions once established. Apply 2-3 inches of organic mulch around the base to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

Will Little Lime® Panicle Hydrangea blooms change color from green to pink/red, and what affects that?

  • Little Lime® blooms start pale lime green and gradually transform to pink, lavender and white before fading to tan in autumn. This natural color progression happens throughout the 16-week blooming season regardless of soil pH. For best color development, ensure your plant gets adequate sunlight and consistent moisture during the growing season.

What's the difference between Little Lime® and other panicle hydrangeas like Limelight or Little Lime Punch?

  • Little Lime® is a compact 3-5' version of the full-sized Limelight, while Little Lime Punch adds more intense pink coloring. All bloom on new wood with similar lime-to-white color transitions, but Little Lime offers the classic look in a smaller package. Choose Little Lime for tight spaces where you want traditional panicle hydrangea beauty.
