Limelight Hydrangea - You "Light" Up My Life

If I could marry a plant, it would be my Limelight hydrangea. Pretty sure that's not allowed in these parts, so I'll just stare at it for now. Officially, they say the blooms are a chartreuse color, but around here they become this very pretty creamy white color with just tinge of lime green poking through. They start blooming in late July and if you can bear to leave the yummy blooms on the plants until fall . . . BOOM . . they turn a deep pink color that looks wonderful in fall arrangements. And they dry beautifully.

Lorraine M on Aug 11, 2013My bush has gotten way too tall, even though I pruned the heck out of it last year. I would love to move it to a better location...it's covering up a window. Any ideas on how/when to do it? Or IF it can be done?
