Comparing Proven Winners® Lime Hydrangeas - Fall Color Update 

Just a comment for those growing hydrangea paniculatas in the southern US. They bloom in July in the south and it is too hot to get any pink color as the blooms fade so they just turn brown. If you cut off about 1/2 of the blooms in July (when they are still fresh and look nice, hard to do but worth it, they do make very nice cut flowers though) you'll get a 2nd set of blooms in October which will get the pink coloration. Every flower you trim off (usually) yields 2 flowers later in the fall. The flowers are a bit smaller than the first bloom but still very nice. This only applies in the South (I'm in Dallas) since the first bloom happens with enough time for the plants to grow and generate a 2nd set of blooms before first frost. It works best if you trim the blooms off a bit inside of the outer edge of the plant (just above a set of leaves) since the new branches will grow 6 to 12 inches before generating new flowers.

I like the breakdown of all the limelights mentioned in rhe video! I'm really loving this channel!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰!!!

thank you so much.. I really do enjoy your videos. I have six limelight prime, three bobos and eleven (!) TIDBITs. and I love them all! That is just my panicles that I purchased in recent years. I have several older limelights. None have let me down. They add so much beauty to our home.

I am a HUGE PW fan. I really enjoy these presentations from your team. It's so helpful to see full grown plants. I do really wish "Limelight Prime" was introduced as its own hydrangea vs "an improved variety" of "Limelight". This forces them to be constantly compared when there is a place for each. I feel that they are each special and still different enough that Limelight Prime should have been given a completely different name. I personally would have loved a name instead like "Berry Limeade" to go along with "Little Lime Punch" and to emphasize in both the monikers that they have great colorful fall displays. 😀

Great Video on Explanation on the different varieties of Limelight Hydrangeas .Thank you.

I have all of these in my garden except Little Lime Punch! Will have to add that to my collection this season. They are all so beautiful and I love the varying pinks they add to the garden in fall. Thank you for sharing this side by side comparison.

Is it me, or does the Limelight Prime seem to be more on the leggy side in growth habit?

LOVE THIS CHANNEL 🤗🌸💕 LIMELIGHT PRIME IS MY FAV

This is great! Gives me a sense for planning for buying next Spring.

Thank you! Loved the recap. Can’t wait to see my little lime punch hydrangeas in all their glory next year!

I love ALL my Limelights!!!

Thank you for the follow up video!

Thank-you! I have a Limelight & a Little Lime. I have already pre-ordered 2 Little Lime Punches for delivery in April-ish next year (zone 3 Canada). I’ve been unsure on the Limelight Prime, but I think I’ll be reworking the back yard to accommodate one.

I just planted a Limelight prime. I doubt I get much blooms or fall color this year. It's not even 3 ft tall yet. I will be getting some of the others. I really love the tree like look of the original Limelight too. I'd love a forest of them!!!

Thank you that was such a great help to me as I live in Ontario and have often wondered about the difference in colour of hydrangeas year to year. Do hope there will be more videos like this. I have lots of hydrangeas including the big limelight.

How old was the original Limelight you talked about. I'm wondering how many years it took to get that big.

Woah! I'm going to need a bigger space for my 'Limelight' hydrangea. Those branches are thick.

The Limelight Prime - Is that one plant that you are standing next to in the video or more than one?

Thank you for your video. You did a great job and I enjoyed watching it. Would you please tell me how to make panicle hydrangeas having a full bloom? I just purchased 2 strawberry hydrangeas and one quick fire fab hydrangeas from your company couple weeks ago. I planted them in full sun spots here in Texas and I am learning how to make them bloom fully next year. Which fertilizer should I use for them and when to add fertilizer? Thank you so much!

Hi there, I really enjoy your videos. In the last segment regarding Lime Light, how do you prune it to reveal the stems in the architectural that it was shown. Usually it’s left in a more rounded form, but I love it pruned up. Any advice?

Hi I would like to order a little lime punch from prow in winners ..Was wondering how to go about ,doing that if you could please reply ..Live in Ontario Canada.Apsolutly love hydrangeas..

Thankyou for the great video. I can see that I need to add Limelight Prime and Little Lime Punch to my spring order. I noticed that your blooms on all your hydrangeas are not floppy. How do you do that? My standard procedure in late winter is to cut back my panical hydrangeas by about 1/3 and fertilize with Hollytone or Rosetone. They bloom beautifully but by this time of year they are so floppy and when the snow flies some of them will break. Any help would be appreciated

Why is the limelight hardy in zone 9 but not the prime version or the little lime?

How i can order?
