Zesty Lime Blooms With a Soft, Sparkling Finish
Fresh, modern, and full of lift, Hydrangea ‘Lime Sparkle’ is a paniculata hydrangea loved for its bright lime-green tones that bring instant light to borders and patio pots. Its cone-shaped flower heads open in zesty green, then soften towards creamy white, often picking up gentle blush-pink as the season matures.
It’s a gorgeous choice when you want something a little different from the classic white-and-pink hydrangeas—still elegant, but with that crisp, contemporary edge.

Caragh Garden Notebook (care made simple)
- Light: Sun to part shade
- Soil: Moist, fertile, well-drained
- Water: Water well during dry spells; keep container plants evenly moist
- Feeding: Feed in spring to support strong growth and flowering
- Pruning: Prune in late winter/early spring—flowers form on new wood, so a tidy cut-back encourages strong new stems and big blooms
Style tip
Pair with white roses, lavender, salvia, and ornamental grasses for a high-end, fresh palette that looks good from June right through to autumn.
