Yellows, lime green and mahogany purple foliage make this plant unique! Then you definitely want to have Wax Wings ‘Lime Mirror’ bush. ‘Lime Mirror is a vivid, low growing evergreen that features a montage of glossy evergreen foliage year round. This is a plant that not only can be used in the garden, mixing with other plants, but can bring brightness into the home during the dark winter days.
One of the things that plagues most plants is that deer find it very attractive . This plant is very deer resistant, so no worries there! Since this is predominantly a warm weather coastal plant, one of the plus factors of it is that ‘Lime Mirror’ is salt tolerant. That makes it ideal for those areas. If you don’t live in those areas but still want to grow it, just plant it outside in well-draining soil then dig it up and bring it inside as a colorful houseplant! This plant can also be used as a hedge, a border, mass planting, or a focal point in the landscape. It really is the Jack of All Trades plant!
Waxwing Lime Mirror Bush Care
It is an easy to care for plant, that blooms on old wood in the spring. Depending on your location it blooms from very early spring into early winter. It likes part to full sun and only requires trimming as desired. The flowers are insignificant and are well hidden among the foliage.
Waxwing ‘Lime Mirror’ is hardy in Zones 9a to 11b, primarily in coastal areas. Otherwise consider it a tender annual in your area.
Waxwing Lime Mirror Bush Spacing
Using Waxwing ‘Lime Mirror Bush’ bush is variable. If using it as a mass planting or hedge, it should be planted 32-36 inches apart. If you are keeping it shorter to use as a border, it can be planted 24 inches apart. As a houseplant you can keep it as large or as small as you like. We recommend using a 12 inch or larger container with a drainage hole.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
