Nandina Domestica is a bushy plant that is known to our cousins up north as ‘heavenly bamboo’. The compact ornamental shrub retains its lanceolate leaves year in year out, including throughout harsh winters. At the end of the meteorological summer, the ‘Obsessed’ variant displays an intense, deep red colour.

If you are more into yellow and green combinations, the ‘Lemon & Lime’ could be just the thing for you. Before the evergreen foliage takes over, you get to enjoy an ornamental plant that thrives in any kind of garden soil.
