Common Name(s): Heavenly bamboo Botanical Name: Nandina domestica Type: Broadleaf evergreen or semi-evergreen shrub Hardiness: USDA zones 6 to 9 Light Requirements: Full sun to dappled shade Water Requirements: Average Bloom Color(s): White with yellow anthers Bloom Period: June Height: 3 to 8 feet Spacing: 2 to 4 feet Features: Showy blooms, ornamental fruits Precautions: Can be invasive. Seeds per packet: See options Description: Native to Japan, India and China, this evergreen shrub is a work-horse in the garden providing exceptional color and interest year-round. Compound dark green leaves and hollow stems are often mistaken for bamboo, which lead to the common name, 'heavenly bamboo' though Nandina actually belongs to the barberry family. Small white flowers are produced in impressive upright terminal clusters in spring. Blooms are replaced by loose clusters of red berries which persist on the plant for several months until eventually dispersed by visiting birds (northern cardinals, American robin, northern mockingbirds, cedar waxwings) and mammals. Through the latter part of the season, the stems and leaves become intensely bronzed with hues of crimson, copper, magenta, chartreuse, and deep purple. Plants are evergreen in zones 8-10, but leaves will drop should temperatures persist below about 10F. Uses/Culture: Accent plant (form, color), wildlife gardens, large patio containers, background planting for perennial beds and borders, grouped in shrub borders, covering for large expanse of wall or unsightly fence. Will tolerate a wide range of soil and lighting conditions but performs best in full sun to partial shade and moist, humus-rich soil; will tolerate full shade. Germination requirements: Germination begins in 6 to 8 weeks under warm (68F), moist conditions, but dormant seeds may not germinate until two cold periods stimulate stages of embryo development. Do not discard prematurely.
