Nandina domestica 'Royal Princess' (Heavenly Bamboo) - This is an upright-growing shrub to 6 to 8 feet tall that has very lacy foliage. Pinkish-white flowers bloom in clusters at the ends of branches in the late spring and summer followed by a heavy set of red berries ( notably heavier than most Nandina cultivars). The foliage turns to burgundy in spring and later a orange-red in fall. Branching stands stiffly upright unlike typical Nandina domestica and the foliage has a much finer texture. Plant in sun or shade. Tolerates fairly dry conditions but looks better when given water occasionally. It is hardy to about 10 degrees F. The California trademark is held by K.M. Nursery in Carpinteria, California. Faster growing than other Nandina domestica cultivars.
