Nandina domestica 'Filamentosa' (Thread-leaf Nandina) - This evergreen small shrub grows to 1 to 2 feet tall and has intricate dissected leaves which give it a very lacy, almost fern-like, look. It is slower growing and much smaller than the species yet it still has the same bamboo cane-like stems and foliage colors. 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 and water little to occasionally. It will survive temperatures down to 10 degrees F. This variety was imported from Japan and named by Ray Yoshimura of San Gabriel Nursery. It is also called Nandina filamentosa 'Threadleaf', N. 'San Gabriel' and N. 'Kirajuse'. The word Nandina is derived from 'nanten', the Japanese name for the plant, and 'domestica' meaning "cultivated".
The information about Nandina domestica 'Filamentosa' 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. |
