How to grow the ‘Lemon and Lime’ Nandina in NZ

The ‘Lemon and Lime’ Nandina grows well across most regions of New Zealand. Plant it in full sun to part shade in free-draining soil enriched with organic matter. Water regularly during dry spells until the plant is established. Applying mulch helps to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilise it in spring with a balanced, slow-release fertiliser. Pruning is rarely needed, only for removing damaged or untidy stems to maintain its compact, upright shape.

‘Lemon and Lime’ Nandina care tips

Plant in full sun to part shade for best foliage colour. Water regularly during the first growing season to help establish a strong root system, then reduce watering frequency as the plant becomes more drought-tolerant. Use mulch to retain soil moisture and reduce weed growth. Feed in spring with a general-purpose slow-release fertiliser. Pruning is usually unnecessary, but removing any damaged or stray stems can help maintain the desired shape. This hardy shrub is generally resistant to pests and diseases.

Plant Size and Spacing

‘Lemon and Lime’ Nandina typically grows to 60–80 cm tall and 60 cm wide as a compact bush. For mass planting or borders, space plants approximately 50–60 cm apart to allow for their natural mature growth. In containers, choose pots at least 30 cm wide to support root development.
