This new nandina is sure to bring a dollop of bright colour to your borders or pots. It has a bushy upright habit, but with a maximum height of around 120cm (4'), it is nogoing to dominate. The best thing about it is the foliage, which is heavily smattered with white. It emerges in spring with a coppery pink flush but this fades as the laves mature. It holds onto its foliage throughout the year and when the temperatures drop in winter, the colour seems to intensify. To top it off, the plant also produces sprays of small white flowers in summer.
Please note: stone pot not supplied. - Garden care: In mid- or late spring lightly cut back any shoots that spoil the symmetry of the plant.
- Humans/Pets: Harmful if eaten
