Nandina domestica (Heavenly Bamboo) - This evergreen shrub is similar to bamboo in its cane-like stems that are clothed with long leaves that are divided into many linear leaflets. It erectly grows to 6-8 feet tall and 4 feet wide. New foliage is reddish in color and during the fall the leaves turn an orange-bronze or purplish-red. Pinkish-white flowers bloom in clusters at the ends of branches in the late spring and summer. Plant in sun or shade. Tolerates fairly dry conditions but looks better when given water occasionally. It will survive temperatures down to 10 degrees F.
The information about Nandina domestica displayed on this web page is based on our research conducted in the nursery's horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also include observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments we receive from others and welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share cultural information that would aid others in growing this plant. |
