Quick Overview:

Vivid green and yellow new growth is the perfect backdrop for light pink summertime flowers, adding a refreshing burst of brightness to any landscape, while mature ivory and green variegated foliage ages to perfection. A moderate grower reaching 3  feet tall and 4 feet wide, Twist of Lime™ is a brilliant choice for garden beds and borders.

Description

Easily grown in average, medium, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Best flowering in full sun. Prefers moist, organically rich soils which drain well. Nearly evergreen in the South. Blooms on new wood, so prune as needed (e.g., remove stems lost to winter and, if desired, thin to the ground up to 1/3 of old stems) in late winter to early spring.
