    Nandina Lemon Lime

    A compact, evergreen heavenly bamboo with vivid lime new growth and year-round texture

    Description

    Nandina Lemon Lime offers a refreshing burst of chartreuse to lemon‑lime new growth that matures to rich green, delivering multi‑tonal color without the red winter tones common to other nandinas. Its naturally compact, mounding habit stays neat with little pruning, making it a dependable, low‑maintenance evergreen for modern and classic landscapes alike.

    Small, airy clusters of white spring flowers may appear, though this cultivar typically fruits sparsely to not at all. Durable and adaptable, it thrives in full sun to part shade, showing its brightest color with morning sun and a touch of afternoon protection in hotter climates.

    Care Tips
    • Planting instructions iconPlanting InstructionsPlant in spring or fall. Dig a hole 2–3× the width of the root ball, no deeper. Tease circling roots; set crown level with soil surface; backfill with native soil and water thoroughly.
    • Soil moisture iconSoil MoistureKeep evenly moist the first season. Once established, water deeply but infrequently; tolerates brief dry spells but benefits from irrigation during prolonged heat.
    • Soil type iconSoil TypeWell‑drained soil is essential. Loam or sandy loam ideal; tolerates clay if drainage is improved. pH slightly acidic to neutral (≈5.5–7.0).
    • Humidity iconHumidityAdaptable to a wide humidity range; ensure good air flow in very humid climates to reduce leaf spotting.
    • Pruning iconPruning InstructionsMinimal pruning required. In late winter/early spring, remove up to one‑third of the oldest canes at ground level to rejuvenate; lightly tip‑prune after spring flush to maintain shape. Avoid heavy shearing.
    • Winter care iconWinter CareMulch 2–3 in to protect roots. In Zone 6, choose a sheltered site out of winter winds. For containers, insulate pots or move to a protected spot when temps drop below 10°F (−12°C).
    • Planting depth iconPlanting DepthSet so the top of the root ball is even with or slightly above surrounding soil. Do not bury the stem flare. In containers, leave 1–2 in of headspace for watering.
    • Fertilization iconFertilizationFeed lightly in early spring with a balanced, slow‑release fertilizer. In poor soils, a second light application mid‑summer. Avoid excessive nitrogen that can dull foliage color.
    • Special care iconSpecial CareColor is brightest with morning sun and afternoon shade. Ensure drainage—avoid waterlogged sites. Generally pest‑ and disease‑resistant. This cultivar sets few to no berries, reducing invasive and wildlife toxicity concerns.
