I am interested...but, can you post a pic?
I wanna see your "dream guy"!

Is it just a northern thing, Annie? I've been seeing (and drooling over) hydrangeas everywhere lately but I love the size and colours of this one particularly.
I feel the same way about cranberries too. Hated them as a child, can't get enough of them now...

Beautiful greens! Does it stay little like that? Your "Blackie" potato vine goes really well with it too.

I think it has to do with age, not a northern thing. :)
I used to laugh at the little old ladies and their lust over roses. Now that I am one of those little old ladies, I completely understand the zeal of growing roses. Can't get enough roses! (he he he)

Well, if it's just like Limelight it will take quite a bit of sun. I think the paniculatas take more sun than the macrophyllas. I have my Limelights in pretty much full sun in zone 7 with only some old soakerhoses giving them water. They have very shallow, wide roots so I don't know how they would compete with other shrubs; I have mine with perennials.

Newbie, I bought one today. Was planning on putting it in a bed that only gets a couple hours of morning sun. Should I rethink that? I know our sun exposure is more intense down here, but how much is too much for Little Lime?

Did a little research before I transplanted Little Lime and even down here sun is recommended. We'll see how he fairs next July and August.

I made a space for the little guy where he'll end up with 6-7 hours of sun/day. We should compare notes next year, natal.

We'll definitely have to compare notes. I had asked about planting Little Lime on the Hydrangea forum and Luis (the apparent resident expert) seemed to think shade was a better idea. When I checked with LSU's Ag Center and a local plant expert both said sun. So sun it is. I told Luis I'd try to remember to report back next summer.

I too would like to use it in an area with primarily shade; but some hydrangeas haven't done well there. Even my Annabelle I had to reposition several times to find the right sun exposure.

I am in zone 8b, BC
Here is a pic of my Little Lime that I took just last month, now she is beginning to turn pink. I love this little plant.
