Ready for a hydrangea that serves up a full season of colorful fun? Little Lime Punch® is here to deliver! Similar to Little Lime®, this hydrangea starts off with fresh, lime-green blooms that’ll have you hooked. But as summer rolls along, those blooms change like magic—first to white, then soft pink, and finally, rich, Hawaiian Punch red! And the best part? It keeps reblooming, so you’ll have a mix of green, white, pink, and red all on one plant at the same time.
With its compact habit and sturdy stems, Little Lime Punch is not only a visual delight but also a practical powerhouse in the landscape. Whether you’re looking to jazz up your garden borders, foundation plantings, or even a container garden, this hydrangea fits in perfectly. Its show doesn’t stop when summer ends—fall brings even richer colors, and its strong structure holds interest through the winter months.
