Robert Savory of Savory's Gardens in Minnesota registered this hybrid of two H. 'Aspen Gold' seedlings in 1988. The medium size plant has leaves that are chartreuse in the center with a narrow white marginal variegation. They are heavily corrugated and have thick substance. It bears pale lavender flowers from mid-July into August.

According to The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "The very narrow, white margins cause the foliage of 'Limelight' to cup and sometimes tear."
