Collection: Nandina

Year-Round Color & Effortless Performance

Nandinas are versatile evergreen shrubs prized for their vibrant foliage transformations, compact form, and exceptional adaptability. From spring's bronze-red new growth through summer's lush green foliage to fall and winter's brilliant crimson tones, nandinas deliver continuous color and textural interest with minimal maintenance—making them ideal foundation plants, mass plantings, and container specimens for modern landscapes.

Why Nandinas Excel

• Four-season color: Bronze spring growth, green summer foliage, and brilliant red-purple fall and winter tones
• Compact versatility: Dwarf varieties suit tight spaces, while standard forms excel in mass plantings and screens
• Low-maintenance performance: Drought-tolerant once established, deer-resistant, and thrives in sun or partial shade
• Textural elegance: Fine, bamboo-like foliage adds delicate texture that contrasts beautifully with bold-leaved plants

Selection & Placement

Choose varieties based on mature size and color intensity. Dwarf cultivars like 'Firepower' and 'Gulf Stream' work well in foundation beds, borders, and containers, while larger varieties suit mass plantings and informal hedges. Plant in full sun for most intense winter color, though nandinas tolerate partial shade. Pair with evergreen shrubs, ornamental grasses, or winter-blooming camellias for year-round interest.

Care Essentials

Plant in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade exposure. Water consistently during establishment, then reduce frequency as plants develop drought tolerance. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Prune selectively in early spring to remove oldest canes at ground level, encouraging fresh growth and maintaining compact form. Nandinas require minimal fertilization and are largely pest-free, making them ideal for low-maintenance landscapes.
