Description

Limemound is a low mounding shrub, reaching 3' tall and 6' wide. It has unusual deciduous foliage: new leaf growth is lemon yellow, maturing to lime green, changing to orange red in fall. Pale pink flowers cluster at the branch ends in summer. It prefers full to part sun with medium amount of watering and well draining soil.

Water Saving Tip:

Change spray sprinklers to low-flow bubbler or drip systems. Shrubs and trees are ideal candidates for this type of irrigation because the water is applied directly to the root zones.
