Nandina Lemon Lime
Nandina Lemon Lime (Nandina domestica ‘Lemon Lime’) is a stunning evergreen shrub known for its vibrant chartreuse foliage that provides year-round color and brightness to any garden. Unlike traditional nandina varieties, Lemon Lime’s new growth emerges in bright lemony shades, gradually transitioning to lime green as it matures, creating a dynamic contrast with its lush foliage. This compact nandina grows to a height and width of 3 to 4 feet, making it ideal for use as a foundation plant, in mixed borders, or as an eye-catching accent in both formal and informal gardens. With its brilliant foliage and low-maintenance needs, Lemon Lime Nandina is a versatile choice that adds a pop of color without overpowering your landscape.
Nandina Lemon Lime thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to various soil types, provided the soil is well-drained. This hardy shrub is also highly heat and drought-tolerant once established, making it an excellent choice for areas that experience hot summers or inconsistent rainfall. Unlike other nandina varieties that produce red berries, Lemon Lime is berry-free, which makes it a non-invasive, child- and pet-friendly option for landscapes where safety is a concern. The bright lime foliage provides a unique contrast against darker greens and flowering plants, bringing depth and visual interest throughout the year.
Whether planted in mass groupings, as a low hedge, or in containers, Nandina Lemon Lime adds a fresh and modern look to your garden. Its deer-resistant nature makes it an appealing option for gardeners in areas prone to deer activity, as the vibrant foliage remains untouched by browsing. Lemon Lime Nandina also works beautifully in urban landscapes or small garden spaces, providing year-round texture and color without the need for heavy maintenance. By incorporating Lemon Lime Nandina into your garden, you can create a striking, low-maintenance landscape that stands out with vivid color and lasting beauty.
