Planting a Limelight Hydrangea Hedge

- Earlier this spring, I finally planted the row of hydrangeas I've been wanting for so long. I dreamed of making a hedge of large Limelight hydrangeas. Limelight are a paniculata hydrangea. They're the most sun tolerant of hydrangeas and are profuse bloomers!

------------------------------
Limelight grow large, about 8-10 feet tall, with large white blooms that open green at first, then turn white and age to a light blush color. Their blooms are one of the largest and the stems holding them are upright and sturdy. They can also be controlled with intense pruning.
I planted 18 and spaced them approximately 6 feet apart so someday they'll slightly overlap to create a hedge.
- Start with a well-watered plant.
- Dig a hole roughly two times the size of the container. - Do not over-amend the native soil. The roots need to become used to the soil in which they will grow.
- Break up the roots of the plant and place it in the hole so the crown is slightly above the ground.
- Replace the soil and pack lightly
- Water deeply, two to three times per week if raining less than one inch per week.

I absolutely LOVE your enthusiasm. Your hard work is paying off - the yard looks gorgeous. As an added note - you can't get any better hydrangeas than Proven Winners. You should partner with Proven Winners.... oh, my!!!!
Yaaaaassss! I love hydrangea hedges! ❤️❤️❤️🦋🦋🦋
I have 5 and 5 in my corners - smallest yard in the neighborhood and man! Instant spring summer privacy! It is stunning in mass!
Ohh nice! I'd love to see a picture of that.
Kaleb your yard looks amazing and your farm house is beautiful! I’ve Been watching for a long time and have seen the transformation unfold. Love it 😊.
Oh my goodness, that is going to be spectacular. I cannot wait to see what they look like in a few years. So exciting.
Wow! I cannot wait to see how these grow into a beautiful hedge. It will be outstanding! 🇨🇦
Can’t wait to see them in full bloom. How far apart did you space them?
I'm curious as well. Eyeballing it looks like maybe 3 feet? @wiseguide please confirm.
I absolutely floored I found your channel. You are so incredibly thorough and I appreciate it more than you know! I am so excited to learn from you because you are such an amazing teacher and mentor!
Kaleb, you are an inspiration! Please make another video in the spring or summer next year and show us how your hydrangeas are progressing. I am sure they will look amazing with a nice green backdrop you have there. Thanks!
You’re videos are so informative and you are THE best teacher!!!! Thank you for all you do!!!
I found your channel when you did the video with Garden Answer highlighting the favorite plants….now I’m hooked. I love love love your personality and energy! Informative AND fun…dude, I’m an official fan 💯😎
This said it was posted 4 hours ago… and then I see Kip standing up! Is this from months ago, or is he standing? Bless his little heart ❤️
I am planting limelight on my fence border this spring. You made it look easy. I am not fooled. Lol.
I've been doing all of my stuff by hand I sure need one of those machines,, it really does a beautiful job, but then your whole property is beautiful
Great job just finishing up on my mixed hydrangea bed.
Im gonna do this today! My hydrangeas are on the way! So excited 😊 Thanks for sharing!
That is going to be spectacular! I LOVE it! And Limelights are unbeatable but those puppies get massive. It’s hard to tell just how close they are to the arbs, but I’m wondering if they might be a smidge too close unless you’re keeping them pruned. Mine are a good 6 foot wide and only about 4 years old. Anyway, I love the formality of it and your design style indoors and out, is always impeccable. Everything you do is done with such great care and tidiness and I love how much you respect those who taught you along the way. And you have the most information-filled, practical and beautiful videos on youtube. ☺️☺️. And those arbs are extraordinary!! Please update later in the summer!!
Agree, they look a little close but the limelights will steel the show!
Would love to see an update on your hydrangeas 😊
Please post an updated video! I am planting a little limelight hedge now ( 15 little limes) and I would love to see an updated video.
I have always loved these! They have such a wonderful display even in the fall. In my area they are quite pricey!
I'd love to see how they've grown. Update please!
LOVE your beautiful garden….an oasis in itself
Hell yeah that is a lot of work by hand
Hi Kaleb love this video , you're so damm freakin good at what u do , just had the pleasure of following u on Pinterest, ?I'm preparing to try your Christmas cookies and other recipes. May God keep you and your family in good health, have a fabulous weekend you have no idea how much you have helped me throughout this Lockdown which is still in effect in my country you are cheerful your videos are excellent, simple and very heartwarming can't wait for for the upcoming seasons. You make me want to decorate for winter and I live in the Caribbean (lol). Anyways just want to say Thank You I never regretted subscribing to your channel. God Bless.
Do you have any pics or videos of how the Hydrangeas look after a year? Growth, blooms, etc
You are inspiring 🙏🏻 what a energy and vibe 👌🏻👌🏻
Hydrangeas are my favorite flower. They are fabulous. BTW nice legs. Thanks
Dream right there!
I'm crazy over Hydrangeas have 6 in my garden, just recently bought the silver one and propagating another 8 cuttings hopefully will be ready to pot by spring (if we lucky that should be about September)😜🇿🇦
I made my limelights into trees one is 10 foot tall by at least 8 ft wide I have four of them, and then I have two strawberry cream, and and also I just have the plain white hydrangeas and four of the pink hydrangeas. Other than daylilies those are my favorite flowers
Beautiful! ❤
Love hydrangeas. I have a clay soil so don’t know how well they would do.
My hydrangeas flourish in my clay soil that I amended with compost.
Kaleb, have the Limelight hydrangeas formed their blooms yet? In a month or so, they will be glorious! I love hydrangeas too, the panicle and arborescence hydrangeas are dependable bloomers in my zone 5a. I have a few macrophilia hydrangeas, but since they only bloom on old wood, mine usually die back to the ground in the winter, so no blooms. 👀 I'm in the process of replacing the older ones with these reliable bloomers. 💕 I always enjoy your videos! ~Margie
Great video!
Any new pictures of that hedge.
I can't wait to see them in bloom....how old are they before they bloom?
Let’s see an update!
Need an update this year
Love it!
Long time follower and I absolutely love hydrangeas and want to plant a limelight hedge was wondering do you cut these back to ground each year?
Absolutely beautiful I love lime light hydrangeas I’m in San Antonio Texas and I can not find the hydrangeas where did you find them
Hello! Thanks for this video! Have you ever planted a hydrangea on a slope? Will it grow upwards, upright, after compensating for the slope? Or is it going to droop over down the incline and tip over if I don't assist it and growing upwards? It's not a huge incline. Maybe 35°
I love your Nike jacket, Kaleb! I don’t see it on their site anymore, though. Do you know what style it is? You’ve got great taste…you always look great!
Beautiful!! Can you do an update one year later how tall are they in one year ?!? 😃
Love it
Hello Kaleb, just found your channel and just ❤️ love it. Love all the recipes you make. Can you tell me the brand of the half moon edger you are using? I have looked in Home Depot, Lowe’s and even Tractor Supply and can’t find not one! Keep the videos coming!
Please show us the rest of the yard.
I have a row of Limelight hydrangeas along the roadside in the front of the property with a second row of another variety next to the Limelights. All will eventually grow to about 8’ tall and wide and will provide some nice screening. Question: Will you need to move the arborvitae eventually since the Limelight grow so wide?
❤❤❤
Wow i really like this hydrangea hedge...how can i order this hedge sir..love from Nepal
With so many different types of mulch out on the market, what do you use or recommend?
🌷🌷🌷
How far apart do you plant them from one another?
How do you get all of these watered each few days in summer?
What kind of mulch do you use?
How far apart did you space the limelights? I’m looking to do the same thing!
Is Kip better? See 1.40;
Hi Did you amend the soil?
Do you have irrigation run to your garden areas?
