Nandina domestica Lemon-Lime

Bright, lime green new growth.

You may have seen many heavenly bamboos with red foliage, but Lemon-Lime is the first one on the market with lime-green leaves.  Each spring, the new growth emerges bright, lemony-chartreuse and then fades to grass green as the summer heats up.  Brighten your borders and foundation plantings with this bright yellow Nandina.  It will add excitement and a much needed boost of color each season as your bulbs and early spring perennials start to bloom.

This plant is sold exclusively through the Sunset® and Southern Living® plant brands in the U.S.
