Nandina domestica ‘Lemon Lime’ – Fresh Lime Evergreen for Year-Round Brightness

Nandina domestica ‘Lemon Lime’ is a beautifully vibrant evergreen shrub that brings a refreshing burst of colour to the garden. Its new foliage emerges in brilliant shades of lemon and lime, gradually softening to a cool, light green as it matures. This layered effect creates a continual play of colour that brightens borders, containers, and shaded spots throughout the year.

Unlike many nandinas, ‘Lemon Lime’ doesn’t produce the red or bronze tones seen in other varieties, making it a superb choice for gardeners wanting a calm, clean, contemporary look. Its naturally compact, mounded shape gives effortless structure without the need for clipping, and the fine, bamboo-like foliage adds texture and movement to any planting scheme.

Hardy, reliable, and very low maintenance, ‘Lemon Lime’ thrives in sun or partial shade and copes well with a range of soil types. It’s particularly effective as a colour accent in modern borders, courtyard gardens, or alongside darker evergreens that highlight its luminous foliage.

Fresh, bright, and beautifully refined, Nandina ‘Lemon Lime’ is a standout evergreen that adds year-round interest with minimal effort.
