'Limelight' is a robust, upright and spreading shrub with very distinctive colouring. Leaves are yellow-green, stems pale grey-green, slightly blushed pink in places, and pale brown below. Panicles form a very dense, broad cone, entirely green at first. Sterile florets open pale lime green, later grading through to white. A slight pink flush in places gradually deepens a little to give a pink and green colour mix at maturity. Plant in full sun to partial shade in well-drained soil.
