Nandina domestica

Nandina domestica

Nandina domestica is an Asian shrub with erect, bamboo-like shoots.

It is native to eastern and southern Asia.

It grows from 0.7 m to 2.5 m in height.

The leaves are arranged in a spiral pattern and densely clustered at the top of the shoots, which, combined with the erect stems, gives the plant a bamboo-like appearance. New growth is bright red, pink, or copper.

The small flowers are grouped in showy, erect panicles or paniculate inflorescences that grow at the tips of the shoots.

Nandina domestica requires a sheltered location and fertile, well-drained soil.

It prefers a sunny location.
