Plant Highlights: Fresh lime-green new foliage • Evergreen colour throughout the year • Compact, naturally tidy habit • Ideal for borders and containers • Excellent year-round structure

Overview

Nandina domestica 'Magical Lemon and Lime' (PBR) is a compact evergreen shrub grown primarily for its vibrant foliage rather than flowers or berries. New growth emerges in bright lemon-lime tones before maturing to rich green, creating a fresh, colourful display throughout the year.

Its neat, upright habit makes it an excellent choice for contemporary planting schemes, mixed borders and patio containers. The finely divided foliage adds texture without becoming overpowering, making it easy to combine with ornamental grasses, heucheras and other evergreen shrubs.

Plant Details

Growing Guide

Plant in fertile, well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. The brightest foliage colours are generally achieved with plenty of light, while partial shade can be beneficial in more exposed locations.

Water regularly while establishing and during prolonged dry spells, particularly for plants grown in containers. Apply a mulch in spring to help retain soil moisture and improve soil structure.

Seasonal Care

This compact nandina requires very little routine pruning. Remove any damaged or dead stems in late winter or early spring. Older plants can be lightly thinned if needed to maintain an open, balanced shape.

Why We Love It

Unlike many nandinas grown for flowers and berries, 'Magical Lemon and Lime' stands out for its luminous foliage alone. The fresh lemon-green growth brings year-round brightness to borders and containers, making it an excellent choice where reliable evergreen colour is wanted.
