Nandina, Southern Living Plant Collection ‘Lemon-Lime’ (2 Gallon)

Description

Nandina, Southern Living ‘Lemon-Lime’

The Lemon Lime Nandina from the Southern Living Plant Collection provides a zesty twist on the traditional nandina! The Lemon Lime Nandina’s brilliant lime green foliage stays gorgeous and evergreen all year long. Luminous chartreuse green foliage emerges in the spring before maturing to light green in the summer. Consequently, it’s perfect for brightening up spots laden with darker foliage plants.

This shrub features a naturally compact growth habit, and won’t get leggy like traditional nandinas. No pruning required! Therefore, fans of low-maintenance plants should consider letting this reliable beauty into their garden or landscape.

The Lemon Lime works perfectly as a low hedge, ground cover, or an accent, and is at home in an Asian themed garden. Try pairing it with the Purple Diamond Loropetalum for fantastic color contrast.

This variety is known to be notably disease and pest resistant. Additionally, it does not produce berries or spread. This means that they won’t pose a threat to native wildlife from either toxic berries or an invasive nature.
