It also prefers full sun to partial shade but can tolerate light shade. This plant is not particular about soil type as long as it is not overly wet or dry.
Like the other hydrangeas, the limelight prime hydrangea requires sun to thrive. This plant does best in full sun to partial sun, meaning it needs around 6 hours of sun each day. It's important to choose a spot in your garden that gets plenty of sun throughout the day so that your plant can grow and bloom to its fullest potential.
The temperature condition for growing the limelight prime hydrangea is that it should be planted in an area with full sun to partial shade. The ideal temperature for this plant is between 60-80 degrees Fahrenheit.
Ideal humidity condition for this plant is around 40-50%. If the humidity drops below 30%, the leaves will start to wilt and the plant will become stressed. If the humidity rises above 60%, the leaves will start to yellow and drop off.
Mentioning fertilizer, usually the plant requires low nitrogen but in high phosphorus and potassium. If you're using different kinds of fertilizer, be sure to apply them in appropriate proportions.

Propagation is typically done through softwood cuttings taken from the new growth of the season. Cuttings should be 4-6 inches long and taken from the tips of the stems. The bottom leaves should be removed and the cutting should be dipped in rooting hormone before being placed in a well-drained potting mix. Water well and place in a bright, indirect light until roots have developed and new growth appears.
Usually, the plant growth rate is considered to be fast. They can grow anywhere from 6 to 12 inches every year. A lot of this will depend on the growing conditions that they are in. If they have plenty of water and nutrients, they will most likely grow on the faster side.
