Nandina ‘Lime Light’ is a striking evergreen shrub that adds a fresh and vibrant touch to any garden with its bright lime-green foliage. This cultivar is valued for its unique colour, which transforms into a rich red and orange in autumn and winter, providing year-round interest. Growing to a height of 90-120 cm (36-48 inches) with a similar spread, ‘Lime Light’ is perfect for adding a splash of colour to borders, beds, or containers.

For optimal growth, plant Nandina ‘Lime Light’ in a sunny to partially shaded position where it can receive at least 4-6 hours of sunlight daily. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and is relatively low-maintenance, making it suitable for various garden settings. Regular watering is beneficial, particularly during dry spells, to keep the plant lush and vibrant.

Feed Nandina ‘Lime Light’ with a balanced, all-purpose fertiliser in early spring as new growth appears. Pruning is minimal; simply remove any dead or damaged stems in late winter or early spring to maintain the shrub’s shape and encourage healthy growth.

Although Nandina ‘Lime Light’ does not produce significant flowers, its dense foliage provides shelter for small wildlife. This foliage can offer a habitat for beneficial insects, indirectly supporting local pollinators. Including this eye-catching shrub in your garden enhances its visual appeal and contributes to a more biodiverse environment.
