Culture & Care Tips
Lemon Lime Nandina prefers a moist but well-drained soil and full sun to part shade. During the first season after planting, water only enough to keep soil moist but not constantly soggy. As with so many other ornamental shrubs, constantly wet soil can cause problems with the roots leading to damage or death of the plant.
