The Proven Winners ColorChoice® Lime Rickey® Hydrangea is a very hardy smooth hydrangea with lime green flowers. As the flowers age, they turn jade green. The flowers are held up by very strong stems, which is a noticeable improvement to the well-known Annabelle hydrangea.

This shrub is native to North America, and great for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects. Being native also means it is hardier and easier to care for. The shrub blooms every single year, without fail.

Lime Rickey Hydrangea Care

Plant this shrub in an area with well drained soil. It is best to grow this in a location that receives at least 6 hours of sunlight. Morning sun is more beneficial than evening sun. In warmer climates, we recommend providing some shade in the afternoon to help the plant during hot summer days.

To prune the Lime Rickey Hydrangea, do so in early spring right as new growth begins to appear. Trim ⅓ of the total height of the bush. This not only helps the stems become stronger, it will also help encourage new growth and help flowers flourish all year.

Fertilize in early spring before new growth starts to emerge and before you prune. Use a slow release fertilizer that is designed for woody plants such as roses or trees.

Lime Rickey Hydrangea Spacing

Plant the Lime Rickey Hydrangea 4 to 5 feet apart, center on center. If you choose to use the Lime Rickey as a hedge, plant these 40 to 48 inches apart, center on center. These also do well in garden containers. Use the same spacing requirements in containers if you choose to plant more than 1 in a pot.

    This is the second time I've ordered plants from Plant Addicts over a year. The plants always arrive in good condition and not a stick stinking out of soil, a real plant. I even had one sent in the worst heat spell in California and it made it.
