Lemon-lime Nandina can tolerate full sun. In fact, it is known to be quite hardy in USDA Zones 6-9, which means it can withstand a range of climates and conditions.
When it comes to sun exposure, Nandinas are quite versatile and can adapt to different levels of sunlight. However, it’s important to note that the amount of shade the plant receives can affect the brightness and color intensity of its foliage. So, while lemon-lime Nandina can handle full sun, the foliage may not be as vibrant compared to if it were grown in partial shade.
In my personal experience, I have seen lemon-lime Nandina thrive in full sun conditions. I have planted them in areas where they receive direct sunlight for the majority of the day, and they have grown beautifully. The foliage has a lovely lemon-lime color that adds a refreshing touch to the garden.
It’s worth mentioning that even though lemon-lime Nandina can handle full sun, it’s still important to provide it with some protection during extremely hot summer days. This can be done by ensuring the plant has access to adequate water and by mulching around the base to help retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.
Lemon-lime Nandina is a hardy plant that can tolerate full sun, especially in USDA Zones 6-9. While it may not have the same vibrant foliage color as when grown in partial shade, it can still thrive and add beauty to your garden.
