Maranta 'Lemon Lime'

Maranta 'Lemon Lime' — A Burst of Citrus Color in Every Leaf

If you love bold, cheerful foliage, the Maranta 'Lemon Lime' was made for you. This vibrant prayer plant swaps the classic red veins for a striking combination of bright lime green and deep forest green — a fresh, citrusy palette that lights up any shelf, windowsill, or hanging basket it calls home.

Like all Marantas, 'Lemon Lime' performs its quiet daily ritual of folding its leaves upward at dusk and unfurling them again each morning. It’s a living, breathing reminder that your home is full of life — and this one brings the sunshine.
