This hydrangea really steals the limelight!😉 The large, football-sized flowers of panicle hydrangeas always put on a magnificent show on the terrace of the @amhistorymuseum. Hydrangea ‘Limelight’ makes a wonderful addition to any garden with flowers that start almost green, turn to white, and finally fade to a dusty pink. Not to mention how well they pair with Allium ‘Millenium’.🤩 📷: Sarah Dickert, Horticulturist #SmithsonianGardens #Hydrangea #Allium #SummerGardens #SummerFlowers #GardenDC #BotanicalGarden
