Limelight Hydrangea

There are dozens of varieties of hydrangea, but the most popular is the blue variety. While we don't grow blue hydrangea at One Love Farm, we do grow several types including lacecap and, pictured here, limelight.

Limelight hydrangea has always been Karen's favorite variety, so when we saw a couple of small ones we snapped them up and planted them. As you can see from these pictures, they have thrived in their spot on the northeast side of the house, protected from the wind.

The hydrangea blooms last from summer well into the fall. The best part of the limelight variety is its flower color. They change from white to pale pink in the fall. If you look closely, you can see some blooms beginning to turn color.
