Little Lime Punch^® Panicle Hydrangea Hydrangea paniculata

I brought three of these for my front yard I face north lots of sun most of the day I planted with a deep hole lots of good soil and fed a general plant food They took well strong up right stems but did not start blooming till late aug- early sept I did not have high hopes but . . . They are beautiful now! All the colors except that deep deep punch color but we still have time I have 8 blooms on one, 5 blooms on one and 6 blooms on another (its October now) They pair beautifully with lacy blue russian sage which i have and im guessing the dark blue catmint would look fab! They get a small amount of shade during the day as the sun moves from some tall grasses to the right of them then more hot afternoon sun I want to see how big they get next year i want to add three more staggered in between to make it look full Zone 5b SW of chicago- in a wind tunnel ha! BUY! I have one endless summer bloomstruck that is doing ok has sprouted two new plants (the landscapers leveled it to the ground last year !) It does need “food” to keep it blue it is in a shaded area with some morning sun and a tiny bit of the hot afternoon sun - 3 years old still hanging on was completely pink this year - fingers crossed Happy plant ddecorating!

This plant is gorgeous. Anyone considering buying this need to consider that cooler Temps brings on the color change on many panicle hydrangeas. If you do not have adequate water thru the bloom period they will go brown and not transition tp pink and red. This plant is so nice I purchased 3 more. Now I have a total of 5 for this type. I have many different varieties and this one is so nice it gets prime real-estate in the front of the house, and on the sides! I am in zone 6a/Connecticut. Panicle hydrangeas are the way to go here because of the unreliable blooms of mophead/macrophylla. They freeze nearly every year and end up disappointing. I have about 15 of these. And another handful of oakleaf. I love the panicles <3 and Little Lime Punch!

Fantastic hydrangea... Compact, doesn't flop, great leaf color, vibrant fruit punch flower color in Autumn... ( In Michigan ) ...... Only negative is I haven't been able to find anymore in the plant nurseries to buy .. and I'm in Michigan... Home of Proven Winners....

I'm zone 5. I chose this for it's smaller size and pink/red blooms. I purchased in May 2022 at a local garden center. I followed planting and fertilizing instructions that Proven Winners provided. I'm very happy with this plant, the blooms were happy and healthy last year in it's first year, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it blooms this year.

Ordered this little lime punch last year and then didn’t get it in the ground until one of the last possible days before it was too cold to plant anything. Placed it on the north west most exposed side of our house (we live on the edge of town with no trees - so full exposure). I thought there was no way it would survive, but it did!! And with more blooms than any other hydrangea I own. Beautiful little plant and tough as nails.
