The Lemon Lime Nandina is a vibrant evergreen shrub that promises to bring a splash of color to your garden across all seasons. Initially, its new foliage bursts into bright lime-green shades, which gradually mature into a rich, deep-green, maintaining this lush hue throughout the winter months. This shrub reaches an average size, making it a versatile addition to a variety of garden settings. Suitable for USDA Zones 6 to 9, the Lemon Lime Nandina can adapt to a range of climates, from cooler regions to more temperate zones. It thrives in both full sun and partial shade, providing flexibility in garden placement. Ideal locations include borders, foundation plantings, mixed beds, and container gardens, where its unique coloring can be fully appreciated. Included with your purchase are two 2.5-quart Lemon Lime Nandina plants, each secured in a plastic pot with soil. The packaging is carefully designed to retain moisture and prevent soil loss during shipping, ensuring the plants arrive in good condition. Upon arrival, they should be immediately unpackaged, removed from the poly bags, and watered. While the Lemon Lime Nandina is celebrated for its decorative appeal, it also plays a role in attracting wildlife. Its dense foliage can serve as shelter for birds and beneficial insects, although it's not particularly known for attracting pollinators like bees or butterflies. Nonetheless, its year-round beauty adds significant aesthetic value and interest to any garden space.
