Invincibelle Limetta displays spheres of lime green flowers in early-summer that lighten to a soft green-white before turning jade green for the rest of the season. Strong stems hold the blooms upright all season, and a dwarf, rounded habit makes it perfect to plant anywhere, from foundations to flower gardens. These flowers last clear through frost for a persistent show that takes practically no effort on your part - they are great for both fresh and dried cut flowers. 

  • 3-4 feet tall and wide at maturity
  • Hardy in zones 3-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in part sun (4+ hours daily) in southern climates and part to full sun in northern climates
  • Space plants 3-4 feet apart for best results
  • Produces lime green flowers that lighten to a soft green-white before turning jade green for the rest of the season
  • Maintains green foliage in a dwarf, rounded habit spring to frost
  • Blooms on new wood
  • Great for borders, containers, edging, landscapes, hedges, cut and dried flowers
  • Native to North America, long blooming, deadheading not necessary

Please note: Our Ships Now shrubs are still waking up from dormancy! In the spring, shrubs begin to emerge from dormancy with swelling buds and potentially new growth as temperatures rise and daylight hours increase. Most dormant shrubs start leafing out in April, depending on the specific plant and local weather conditions.

Care:  Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer. Prefers well-drained soil that does not remain soggy for any amount of time. To prune, simply cut back by one-third of its total height every spring, just as new growth begins to emerge on stems. Make cuts just about 1/4 of an inch above a bud. Dead or damaged wood can be removed at any time.

I ordered 8 and they all look horrible. I ordered the smaller size because it's easy for me to plant. I've ordered several plants and these are the absolute worst. I haven't even had them a week and they are dying. When I received them they looked bad. All of the other varieties of hydrangeas I ordered look good, delicate but pretty good, and you can tell they were getting eaten by bugs

I get a few more every year because these have been the fastest to get full, many blooms, and do well in many different of my yard.

This was my 2nd order, because I was short on plants. The first set looked nice and healthy. This last set were not healthy looking and had some dark crispy leaves. Now after a week after planting they have lost all leaves and look really sick. I sure hope that they come around and spring back.

Well packaged, healthy plants. I let them hang out on my front porch for a week with daily watering to acclimate and they perked up from the little shipping stress they showed. Planted them and two weeks later all six plants have at least one flower budding. Can’t wait until next year when they are much larger and hopefully have a ton a beautiful flowers.
