Why Choose Lemon Lime Nandina Evergreen?

‘Lemon and Lime’ Nandina stands out with its unique colour palette and fuss-free growth. As a true evergreen, it retains its foliage all year, ensuring your garden never looks bare. This shrub is also drought-tolerant and resistant to most pests, making it a top pick for gardeners seeking beauty without frequent care. It grows up to 1 metre high and wide, so it works beautifully as a low hedge, foundation planting, or accent specimen. Whether you’re creating a contemporary landscape or adding interest to a cottage-style garden, lemon lime nandina evergreen blends charm and practicality.

Planting and Care Tips

Plant your lemon lime nandina evergreen in well-drained soil and choose a spot with at least half a day’s sun. It adapts well to poor soils and once established, needs minimal watering. Pruning is rarely needed, but you can trim to shape after the spring flush of new growth. To keep your landscape lively, consider pairing it with flowering shrubs like Lavender 'Lavish Blue' or Azalea Cherry Blossom for a contrasting display. For architectural interest, add Yucca aloifolia or Brunfelsia Blue Moon (Yesterday Today and Tomorrow Flower) to your garden design.
