We planted this 'Limelight' hydragea from Proven Winners this spring. I have tried to grow the mophead hydragea for several years and not had a great deal of luck getting them to bloom. I am really pleased with this one and want to add more of the paniculata type hydragea to the garden.
I did find this hydragea on a sales table and planted it where it will get a little more sun than the other mopheads. I love the blue color of the bloom but our soil is not acid enough for the color to remain blue. If you look closely you can tell the leaves are not in great shape but there is lots of new bright green growth sprouting.
The heat and lack of rain has really affected the daylily bloom but there are still some in spite of this weather. A few favorites blooming now are:
'Margo Reed Indeed'
'Stella's Ruffled Fingers'
This daylily has been blooming non stop since the last of May.
'Premium Cream'
