Briggs offers four outstanding
varieties of Nandina!
‘Moon Bay’  Nandina domestica globosa minor
‘Moon Bay’. Light, airy green in Summer, brilliant scarlet
red in Winter. 4’H x 5’W. USDA 6 to 9.
‘Gulfstream’
NANDINA DOMESTICA, a.k.a
‘Fire Power’  Nandina domestica ‘Fire Power’.
New growth is lime green and ages to light-to-medium
green. Foliage may be tinged yellow or red in Summer,
with outer leaves turning burgundy to brilliant red in Fall
and Winter. 2’H x 3’W. USDA 6 to 10.
‘Harbour Dwarf’  Nandina domestica ‘Harbour Dwarf’.
Foliage appears dense because leaves are closely spaced
on stems. Dark green (sometimes bluish), compound
leaves appear very airy and lacy, and go to burgundy in the
Fall and Winter. 2’H x 4’W. USDA 6 to 10.
Heavenly Bamboo
Although not a true bamboo, Nandina’s stems and bud sheaths
look very similar to those of its namesake. Unlike true bamboo,
however, Nandina is far from invasive, rarely clumping over
4 feet wide, or growing over 4 feet high. Nandina is relatively
drought tolerant after establishment, but will benefit from
occasional Summer watering. All varieties share a symmetrical,
rounded habit that stays fairly compact. Plant Nandina in areas
of full sun, to dappled or afternoon shade.
Nandina offers excellent seasonality. New foliage comes out
fresh green, going to varied shades in the Summer, and brilliant
red-burgundies in the Fall and Winter (more sun equals better
coloration). Bright red berries occasionally adorn Nandina in the
Winter. No matter the shade, Nandina’s leaves are an excellent
contrast to heavier textured plants. Versatile Nandina is lovely
planted en masse, and is just as striking in mixed borders,
foundation plantings, and container settings.
PICTURED: ‘Gulf Stream’  Nandina domestica ‘Gulf
Stream’. Year round interest with a variety of foliage
colors. New growth is bronzy orange; older leaves range
from blue-green, to gold and red; reddish-orange tones
are predominant in Winter. 4’H x 5’W. USDA 6 to 9.
