Today I’m showing you what my Limelight Hydrangea Tree looks like in mid-January with bare stems and dried flowerheads. Now is a really good time to get a close up look at the branches and stems on your own Limelight Tree or similar panicle hydrangea tree you might have. If you pruned it last Spring, this is a great way to see where you made your pruning cuts and just how much it’s grown in one season. If this will be your first time pruning, I’ll show you what to look for, even though you don’t need to prune until early Spring. I also share some blooming flowers — yes in mid-January I have some flowers!

I’ve seen several YouTubers recommend two pruning events on a standard/tree form lime light hydrangea to limit late summer flopping. I am in MD 7a. First prune when buds swell, similar to your video (late February/ early March for me) and again in late May/ early June (when leggy/wispy growth take off).
I am year 7 on on my standard LimeLight…so frustrated with the floppy growth (and tying up the floppy growth in July/August). Would love your thoughts.
My hellebores are waking up, too. I thought I killed them. Definitely gonna buy some more this spring!
So nice to hear your voice and see your garden! After some bitter cold and snow here north of Seattle in December, we have had a very mild January. My hellebores are also budding! Does anyone else get spring fever as soon as Christmas is over?😅
Sadly I butcher my 2 limelight in my driveway entrance beds every spring. I'd tree form them but I have 2 butterfly acer palmatum acting as the tree next to each one. So they take abuse quite well. Also the 2 butterfly jap maples no matter how far along, how low the temperature gets, or how long the freeze lasts are completely spring freeze proof! I'm not sure how but are I'm trying to get cuttings to breeders but no one listens or believes me lol.
