When was that picture taken? It's not a peegee is it?

The shrub shape doesn't look right for Limelight, being so wide, so I would guess PeeGee as well.

PeeGee my guess, looks great

Thanks hyed. I had nothing to do with it, except to trim a few wayward branches for symmetry and to avoid taking an eye out. pulled in couple of big branches and tied them to hide an empty place. It is slightly fragrant. I compared it to two LiLi s nearby and what may be a Limelight and flower heads are distinctly different. Some of these are coneshaped and large but the majority are a bit rounder and more open. The older ones are also turning brown already.

Water-wise worthy, too. No wilting until mid August when it needed a big drink.

Does this still sound like a PeeGee? I must have forgotten it or it didn't have a label when I bought it. I'm positive I had no idea it would get so huge.

I really have to get that silly line of tiny hostas out from other it.

Marie, just a guess , bought at Mahoney's Winchester

I like your garden!..beautiful hydrangea..I didn't notice the garden equipment until I read your comment and went back to the pic..next time don't tell us haha..

hyed, what a smart ass you are. You really are from Boston- Dorchester? JP, Roslindale?

Yes, Mahoney's Winchester since you asked. Cheers, Marie

Marie grew in Dot, buy all my plants at Mahoney's(Winchester) or McCue's(Woburn, Billerica) we're probably neighbors

The flowers look like limelight.

At first glance I was going to say pee gee , but pee gee flowers are pure white, and these flowers definitely have a green hue just like limelight and are definitely different than pee gee flowers. Thus, I've eliminated pee gee.

Though the growth habit is atypical for limelight, I think the shade from the trees is what is giving it an atypical look.

Therefore, my vote is limelight.
