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.

Why Fast-Growing-Trees.com is Better

Best of all? It's a healthy specimen that's resistant to most diseases and pests and tolerant to drought. Whether you're out in the country or on a city block, the Limelight Hydrangea will adapt to almost any setting and always steals the show.

That's because we've nurtured your Limelight from day one, long before it even ships to your door. Other nurseries (if they even offer this unique specimen) stock bare-root varieties. But your Limelight is delivered with healthy roots in nutrient-rich soil.

A popular favorite because of its compact size, beauty, and magnificent floral production, the Limelight Hydrangea Tree goes fast. Get yours today!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Brent! We appreciate your honest feedback and are really sorry to hear that a couple of your plants didn’t make it. We understand how frustrating that can be after putting in the care and effort. We're hopeful the remaining ones will kick into gear this growing season, and we’re here anytime you need help or have questions about encouraging growth or blooms.

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.

Fast Growing Trees Plant ExpertHello Demian, thank you for sharing your experience and for your patience through the ups and downs. We’re happy we could make things right through the warranty. Young plants definitely need a little extra care early on, and it means a lot that you're continuing to grow with us. We’re cheering on your replacement Limelight!
