Nandina domestica 'Harbour Dwarf' (Harbour Dwarf 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. This cultivar is a low growing groundcover variety that spreads by underground roots. It only grows to about 2 feet tall. Fall coloring of the foliage is orange-red or bronzy-red and the blooms are creamy-white or pinkish-white. It will take sun or shade, and appreciates occasional watering though it can get by with little or only occasional irrigation. It will freeze to the ground at 0 degrees F., but usually recovers quickly.
