This compact evergreen to semi-evergreen shrub brings a vibrant splash of colour to borders and patio containers all year round. The slender, pointed leaves offer a striking textural contrast to broader-leaved plants. Nandina domestica 'Magical Lemon and Lime' develops into a bushy shrub, with fresh spring growth beginning as a lemon-green hue, gradually evolving into a bright lime-green throughout the summer. For the most vibrant colour, plant it in a sunny spot, as shaded areas may result in darker foliage. In summer, small white flowers may also bloom. Height and spread: 60cm (24in).
