Are you cursed with rows upon rows of dark green evergreens? Make them pop with bright shots of lime. Dogwood does the trick here.

Stray from the typical varieties of plants and test out their eye-catching lime relatives. This bleeding heart has a vibrant lime foliage that lights up the shadiest of spots. In my opinion, it totally trumps its classic dark green cousin.

Lime hostas are another great choice for shade, bringing pops of vibrancy into dark corners.

The canna lily is another great alternative. Cannas classically come in dark green with red flowers, but there are a host of other options to choose from. Choose a canna with lime foliage to contrast against the deep greens of evergreens or trees.

You might think of red when you think of Japanese maples, but they come in neon lime too. Isn't this one stunning?

Creeping Jenny is the perfect way to add a big expanse of lime to a garden. Beware, though: Creeping Jenny can go a little crazy, so use it wisely and don't let it take over the entire garden.

Creeping Jenny works well to balance taller, spiky plants, adding a lighter, brighter hue to the overall color scheme.

Sweet potato vine is another creeper or draper that comes in a bright lime shade. Little pops of the vine in potted arrangements can brighten up old-fashioned flowers and make them seem new again.

Lamb's ear typically has a blue undertone and works well with magentas and purples. When I saw this plant, I did a double take. It looks like lamb's ear and feels like lamb's ear — is it possible that it comes in a gorgeous lime hue?

Of course, you could just add an actual lime tree to your garden. The color of the plant is a deep green, but you can't beat the taste of fresh lime on grilled corn with a splash of butter. Bring on the limes!
