Professional Growing Information Got three of these because of the beautiful colors of dark raspberry and red shown as they age. However here in zone 8a, we do not get cold enough nighttime temps to get any of the dark pinks and reds as shown. They stayed creamy white with a few tinges of light pink then straight to brown. Very disappointing. I think they need to change the description to let people know that the intense color change comes in the colder climates, not the warmer ones.

You'll be drinking in the beauty Little Lime Punch® hydrangea serves up all season long. Similar to Little Lime®, its blooms emerge lime green, but they mature a little differently. Flowers change progressively from the bottom up in a gorgeous array of white, light pink, and rich Hawaiian Punch red! As it reblooms throughout the summer you'll see these four colors mix to create a truly memorable show. With a compact habit and strong stems, you'll find that it's as useful in the landscape as it is beautiful.
Top reasons to grow Little Lime Punch® panicle hydrangea:
- Fantastic color show - a mix of white, green, and pink all on one bloom!
- Same useful, petite habit as Little Lime.
- Impactful fall color.
