Why Plant Limelight Prime® Hydrangea Tree Form?
This is for the gardener who wants hydrangea-level wow, but with a little more structure and a lot more presence. In tree form, Limelight Prime® lifts those massive blooms above the bed so they read like living bouquets, floating over your landscape all summer and into fall. It blooms on new wood, it holds itself up with stronger stems, and the color progression is the main event: lime-green to creamy tones to punchy pink-red as the season matures.
How to use Limelight Prime® Hydrangea Tree Form in the landscape?
Use this tree form as a focal point near an entry, along a front walk, or beside a patio where the raised canopy can hover above lower plantings and still leave room to move around it. It is especially effective in mixed borders where you want height and flowers without a wide-spreading tree canopy, and it also shines in pairs to frame a doorway, gate, or the start of a garden path. In tighter spaces, it gives you that vertical punctuation mark, elegant trunk below, fireworks above, while still playing nicely with shrubs, perennials, and ornamental grasses.

How To Water

Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
