Nandina Blush™ 180MM

Nandina domestica 'Blush™' 'AKA'

I am Nandina Blush™. My family originated from eastern Asia.

Habit Shrub - Long-lasting red foliage
Plant family Berberidaceae
I am a compact shrub that produces stunning red new growth from spring through to autumn (longer than other Nandinas). I am the perfect height for fences, borders or as a low hedge. I prefer a full sun to moderately shaded position in free draining to heavy clay soils. Hardy I am tolerant of both drought and frost. I am also suitable for coastal conditions. I require very little maintenance, however to keep me looking at my best, apply a slow release fertiliser in spring.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
Enjoy my vibrant red new foliage for 9 months of the year
