Description

Nandina domestica 'Plum Passion' is a graceful upright shrub that grows 4'-5' in height. When thinned from the center, it bears a remarkable resemblance to bamboo. It is best used in groups. It looks great in a shaded patio or in a shrub border with full sun. An interesting feature of this Heavenly Bamboo is the purplish red color in the new growth and fall color (best in full sun). It also bears clusters of white flowers in the spring.

Water Saving Tip:

Turn sprinklers on and view them operating at least once a month.

Check for and fix missing drip emitters, leaking sprinklers, valves, and pipes. One broken spray sprinkler can waste 100 gallons in a 10 minute watering cycle.
