It's my understanding that limelights stay somewhat lime colored. That looks more like a Pinky-Winky (or Pink Diamond?) paniculata. I thought at first Vanilla-Strawberry, but it's a very mature hedge and the photo is from 2009, so that'd be too early.

Hi ~ My Limelight stayed green & beigey but then we had such an oppressive Summer.

The Flikr photo could be PINKY WINKY I don't have one or could it be VANILLA STRAWBERRY ~ I have new last season, looked a bit like the blossoms but again, due to our awfully steamy Summer I wasn't too impressed (I'm more for the loose & lacey look of other Hpaniculata ~ love QF!

it can't be vanilla strawberry that plant was just released and it is an old hedge but it certainly looks like VS.

Does pinky winky get that big?

PW according to specs can grow to be 6'-8' in size ~ will produce 12" bloom clusters & can look great as a hedge.
My sis in law has a 2 season one - not fully grown yet!

Those pics are of the old-fashioned PeeGee hydrangea. It has been around for years and years. Lovely!

I know this post is a month old, but if I'm ever in Augusta, I'll be happy to ask for you. I'm not shy. =)

Its gorgeous whatever variety it is. I really don't think its Limelight because I have had one for at least 7 or 8 years and its never looked pink like that. Some of the petals will turn a little pink but it goes from green to white back to green when it matures. Finally it turns brown. Would love to have whatever it is!!!

I think Ispahan is right......they must be peegee's. The hedge looks like it's been around for a long time and when I googled pics of peegee they looked the same. Mehearty if you find yourself in the neighborhood definitely ask! Lol and take more pics!

peegee it is...the original flopper, lol. No way is it Limelight.

There is a slight possibility its Pink Diamonds.
