Dwarf Sacred Bamboo 140MM

Nandina domestica nana

I am Dwarf Sacred Bamboo. My family originated from Asia.

Habit Shrub - Winter Colour
Plant family Berberidaceae
I am an evergreen, rounded, dwarf shrub with lime green foliage that turns a vibrant red, orange and yellow during the cooler months. My small size and naturally rounded shape makes me a good choice for pots and other containers. Plant me in a row to create a colourful, uniform, low maintenance low hedge. I am hardy, tolerating coastal conditions, dry periods and light conditions from full sun to heavy shade. I tend to develop brighter colours when planted in a hot full sun aspect. My small white flowers in early summer are followed by small bright red berries.
I am popular and will make you happy because...
My lime green foliage turns a bright orangey red in the cooler months
I am ideal in low hedges, borders, mass planted and a good choice for pots and other containers
I can be planted under deciduous trees, in Japanese gardens and even as a bonsai!
