Nandina domestica, commonly known as Heavenly Bamboo, is a graceful, upright evergreen with finely divided leaves that shift through shades of red, green, and bronze throughout the year. Reaching 6 to 8 feet tall and 3 to 4 feet wide, it produces clusters of white flowers in spring followed by bright red berries in fall and winter. Its airy structure and multiseason beauty make it ideal for layered beds, natural screens, or woodland-style gardens. Nandina domestica is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and thrives with very little maintenance.
