Little Lime and Limelight Hydrangea help?
Comments (4)You are fine. No chance of having bloomage problems for next year, cadence. Their blooms develop on new wood so that means the 2015 blooms develop in the Spring of 2015. It would be best to prune in winter when the plant has gone dormant as opposed to say in the middle of the summer with 100-degreeF 37-degreeC temperatures. But, sometimes these accidents happen suddenly and you have to play the hand that you were dealt regardless of the current weather conditions. Hopefully, temps have gone down for you. Enjoy those two shrubs. They are good choices. My LL still has green blooms. Once your shrubs get older and the stems get stronger, you should not see "too much" of this problem. Say 5 years or so? By the way, if you ever see heavy blooms and the threat of coming heavy winds, feel free to be proactive and cut selected blooms to prevent this problem again. Or add a wind break of some type.

Comments (4)While new hydrangea blossoms don't dry well for me, I've dried them successfully once they start changing color. I've been picking and drying Vanilla Strawberry blossoms the last four weeks, as they've turned deep pink. I hang them upside down in the house using yarn or string suspended from a hanger or one of those over-the-door hanger holders....See MoreWhen and How to Prune 'Little Lime' Hydrangea
Comments (12)Let me/us know how the leaves do by the time August 2012 arrives (if you just happen to remember). I am most interested as the sun in July-August has scorched the leaves of the Macs, Oakleaf, Arborescens here (the leaves in direct contact with the sun turn all yellow or whiteish, including the leaf veins). I have not tried planting a paniculata here for that reason. Oddly, I have not even seen one in homes or city gardens, although Little Lime was for sale in a nursery in May. When I returned to buy it, it was sold out. LL is the only paniculata I have ever seen sold locally in 30 years. It was shocking to find it! Sure would be nice to add some panics.... compact ones though! Hee hee hee!...See MoreHas anyone in the DFW area grown Limelight or Little Lime hydrangea?
Comments (21)There are so many varieties of panicle hydrangea now, in addition to limelight and little lime. These are an unnamed variety from a grower here in east Texas - they only get about 6 hours of full sun, but they really responded to this cold winter. The flowers age kind of pinkish then dry nicely for arrangments. We've also had good luck with the smooth hydrangeas (h. arborescens) such as Annabelle in similar condition, actually in the same bed - these might be 'Incrediball' - I have to wait till fall to climb in to see the tags. We did plant them on the east side of some taller shrubs (viburnum 'Opening Day' and 'Rosalinda' Indian hawthorn, which is recovering from last winter's freeze) to provide some afternoon relief from the hot sun....See Morecreatedtocook
