Description

Lemon Lime Heavenly Bamboo offers a refreshing, bright color palette that stands out in shaded garden areas. Its new growth emerges a vivid, cheerful lime-yellow, maturing to a bright chartreuse-green that holds its color beautifully throughout the year without turning red. This medium-sized, rounded shrub adds a luminous, light-catching effect to borders and is one of the best Nandinas for disease resistance, making it a carefree and colorful choice for partial to full shade gardens.

  • Bright, Steady Chartreuse Foliage: New leaves are a vibrant lemon-lime yellow, maturing to a stable, bright chartreuse-green that does not develop red tones in winter.

  • Luminous Effect in Shade: The light-colored foliage brightens up dark cornersand creates contrast when planted with darker green plants.

  • Excellent Disease Resistance: Particularly resistant to the bacterial leaf scorchthat can affect other Nandina cultivars.
