Growing approximately 3-5 feet tall and wide, it produces large, cone-shaped flower clusters that emerge lime green before transitioning to white, soft pink, and eventually rich pink to reddish tones. Because the flowers mature at different times, several colors can often be seen on the same plant at once.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLittle Lime Punch provides the impressive flowering performance of a panicle hydrangea in a compact size, making it an excellent choice for foundation plantings, mixed borders, low flowering hedges, mass plantings, or as a colorful accent. Strong stems help keep the large flowers upright, and because it blooms on new wood, it provides reliable flowers year after year.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMore About Little Lime Punch Hydrangea\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLow Maintenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eModerate Growing\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeciduous Flowering Shrub\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCompact Variety\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLong Blooming\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoundation Planting, Mixed Border, Low Hedge, Mass Planting, Accent\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDense, Upright, Rounded Habit\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLarge Cone-Shaped Flowers\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMulti-Colored Blooms\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrong, Sturdy Stems\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAttracts Pollinators\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent Cut Flower\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCold Hardy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 3-5 Feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpread\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 3-5 Feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHardiness Zone\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e: 3-8\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSun Exposure: Full Sun to Part Shade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSeason of Interest: Summer, Fall\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSoil Moisture: Average to Moist, Well Draining\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAttributes: Compact, Upright, Rounded, Flowering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFoliage Color: Green\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFlower Color: Lime Green, White, Pink, Rich Pink to Red\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare \u0026amp; Maintenance Tips\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlanting:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant in full sun to part shade.
