Nandina Shrubs for Sale Online

Nandina domestica or heavenly bamboo is also commonly known as just nandina or sacred bamboo. Nandina sometimes gets a bad reputation due to its common name of bamboo. It's not bamboo at all, but individual members of this family do resemble bamboo in some ways. Nandinas are an evergreen shrub that you can find many uses for in the landscape. In colder climates, these plants can be somewhat deciduous, but they green up in the early spring. This tendency is not necessarily as a bad thing as when they lose some of their leaves; the red berries can show off. The berries will persist through the winter and add an interesting element to the winter landscape. Some people use the berries from nandina in place of holly berries in wreaths and other Holiday decorations. In southern climates, they will remain evergreen, but the leaf color will change, depending on the variety of the nandina. Nandinas are very easy to grow and care for. They are drought tolerant, disease resistant, and grow in a wide variety of soils. Nandinas grow particularly well in soils that retain soil moisture but do not always stay wet.
