Limetta Smooth Hydrangea is a dwarf deciduous shrub with serrated deep green foliage and no fall color. Its sturdy stems don’t flop under the weight of its dense panicles that open lime green, pale to greenish white and mature to jade green. The blooms continue all summer into fall, attracting butterflies and pollinators. Blooms best in partial sun and rich, moist well-drained soils.
