Collection: Nandina

Nandina domestica, or heavenly bamboo, is an evergreen shrub grown for its leaves and their winter colour. It's happy in a pot as well as a border.

It's hardy in most of Britain and grows in sun or partial shade, but the winter colour is much better in a sunny spot, and cold, drying winds can brown the leaf edges.

Compact forms such as 'Obsessed' rarely produce berries. Where berries do form, they're poisonous to cats, dogs, birds and grazing animals.

Plant from March to May or September to November. Grown peat-free in Yorkshire.
