The Dwarf Tree with Giant Blooms
Why Limelight Hydrangea Trees?
Nothing says summer like huge, colorful blooms on a small tree. That's exactly what the Limelight Hydrangea delivers season after season. But not just any blooms: The Limelight's floral display gets started early, in an eye-popping show sure to beautify your garden.
Pastel-like colors of pink, green and blue give way to white blooms later in the season. The large, puffy flowers pack the dwarf's branches the whole summer. Its reputation for ravishing blooms has thrust this little-but-fierce tree into the limelight the past few years, earning the 'best performer' title from many enthusiasts.
Whether the Limelight Hydrangea Tree is planted in a container, on the patio or in the garden, it offers the perfect accent to practically any planting location. Plus, you can bring some of the Limelight's freshness indoors by creating colorful flower arrangements that will brighten any room. Dry and preserve some of your favorite blooms to keep them on hand after season's end - it's the perfect way to keep summer alive.
About Proven Winners®: Proven Winners® ColorChoice Shrubs offers flowering shrubs, evergreens, and trees that have been tested for eight to ten years to ensure they outperform conventional varieties. That means bigger flowers, more colorful foliage, reblooming, disease resistance, new habits, or anything that makes them more beautiful and easier to grow in your landscape or garden.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The box arrived damaged. I fault FedEx, not FastGrowingTrees. I credit FastGrowingTrees for protecting the tree with their awesome packing job. The tree is happy and healthy at its new home in Southern, LA.
Limelight Hydrangeas
We ordered 6 of these March 2024. 4 of the 6 made it and 2 of them didn’t make the winter in southern TN, and we’re not that cold. Unfortunately was just last warrant 30 days, ugh…. The other 4 didn’t get much growth year 1, super small flowers. We just ordered 2 more, Hopefully the older ones will take off in growth this year.
May not be as hardy when young. . .
We received our Limelight in the early Spring but experienced a night when the temperature dropped to 28 degrees. Despite being billed as "hardy down to -30," the cold killed all of the branches. New growth eventually came from the base of the trunk, but it will take some time to reach the 4-5 feet we paid for. Upside! Fast Growing Trees took care of us with their warranty, and we are replacing it. Young plants can be tricky, but we will continue using FGT due to their commitment to customer satisfaction.
Nice addition to front yard
Tree arrived in good condition. Planted within a few days. Already has new growth and is doing well.
