Hydrangea arborescens 'Incrediball Limetta'

Hydrangea arborescens 'Invincibelle Limetta': Lime-Green Snowballs from Spring to Fall

Hydrangea arborescens 'Invincibelle Limetta' is a Proven Winners® smooth hydrangea that lights up the garden with rounded spheres of lime-green flowers. The blooms open bright in early spring, soften to a green-white, then settle into a rich jade green that holds beautifully through the season. Compact and mounded, it brings fresh, modern colour to borders and foundation plantings without taking up much space. It’s a crisp, clean choice when you want something different from traditional white or pink hydrangeas.

Plant Characteristics:

• Height: 2.5–3’
• Spread: 2.5–3’
• Flower Colour: Lime green, softening to green-white, then jade green
• Flowering Period: Spring to fall
• Foliage: Green, deciduous shrub foliage
• Sunlight Requirements: Full Sun to Part Shade

Uses and Benefits: Perfect for brightening mixed borders, edging a walkway, or repeating in smaller gardens for a tidy rhythm of colour and form. The lime-to-jade tones act like a natural highlighter in the landscape, pairing easily with both bold and subtle palettes. Its compact size makes it easy to tuck into foundation plantings, courtyard beds, and layered designs where you want long-season bloom without a large shrub footprint.

Care Instructions: Water regularly during the first season to establish strong roots, then water deeply during hot, dry stretches to keep growth and flowering strong. Prune in late winter or early spring to refresh the plant and encourage vigorous new stems, since smooth hydrangeas bloom on new wood. Mulch helps conserve moisture and keep roots cooler through summer. A spring top-dressing of compost supports steady, healthy performance.

History: Part of the Proven Winners® Invincibelle® Series, 'Invincibelle Limetta' was selected for its distinctive green flower colour and its long blooming season from spring through fall. It offers the classic smooth hydrangea look with a fresh, contemporary twist in colour.

Final Thoughts: For gardeners who want a compact hydrangea that stays bright and interesting for months, Invincibelle Limetta delivers a clean lime-and-jade display that feels fresh in every season.
