Lemon Lime Heavenly Bamboo (Nandina domestica 'Lemon Lime') is an evergreen shrub known for its vibrant, colorful foliage and versatile landscaping uses. Despite its common name, this plant is not a true bamboo but rather a member of the Berberidaceae family.
Lemon Lime Heavenly Bamboo is a compact, slow-growing shrub that reaches a height of 3-4 feet and a width of 3-4 feet. It is hardy in USDA zones 6-10 and thrives in a variety of soil types and conditions. This low-maintenance plant is drought-tolerant once established, resistant to pests and diseases, and can be planted in full sun to partial shade. With its striking foliage and adaptability, Lemon Lime Heavenly Bamboo is a popular choice for borders, hedges, foundation plantings, and container gardens.
The standout feature of the Lemon Lime Heavenly Bamboo is its vibrant, colorful foliage. The new leaves emerge with a bright, lime-green hue, which gradually transitions to a rich, dark green as they mature. This contrast of colors creates a stunning visual effect in the garden throughout the year. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the foliage offers year-round interest due to its evergreen nature, making it an ideal choice for adding structure and color to the landscape.
Lemon Lime Heavenly Bamboo produces clusters of small, white flowers in late spring to early summer. These delicate blooms are held on upright panicles and attract a variety of pollinators, such as bees and butterflies. While not the main focus of this plant, the flowers provide an added layer of interest to its already striking appearance.
Following the flowering period, Lemon Lime Heavenly Bamboo produces clusters of bright red berries that ripen in the fall. These berries are not only visually appealing but also provide a food source for birds and other wildlife during the winter months. It's important to note, however, that the berries can be toxic to pets and humans if ingested in large quantities, so caution should be exercised when planting this shrub in areas frequented by children or pets.
