Nandina Domestica, also known as Heavenly Bamboo is an evergreen or semi-evergreen woody shrub often used in landscaping. Its delicate compound leaves which have lance shaped leaflets are held on multiple non-branching stems. The whole plant has a very lacy appearance and upright form, growing 6-8 feet and 2-4’ wide on bright yellow wood. The new growth is often bronze to rose in color, becoming green with age. In the fall and winter, the growth takes on autumn leaf colors: red, orange, bronze and pink. In spring, large 8-12 inch clusters of attractive small white flowers emerge at the end of stems followed by green berries which ripen to beautiful bright red that are held for many months, providing winter interest. The bright berries are beloved by birds and attract mockingbirds, cedar waxwings, and robins.
Unlike most plants we call ‘bamboo’ Nandina is not a nuisance plant. Actually, it’s not even a bamboo at all, but a member of the barberry family. It is commonly called Heavenly Bamboo because its erect, cane-like stems and compound leaves resemble bamboo. One advantage of Nandina is that it does not send underground sprouts all over the garden like bamboo does. The stems emerge right from the base of the plants. This is one of the toughest and most adaptable of plants to a variety of conditions. Some specimens are known to have lived for more than 100 years.
Heavenly Bamboo can be used in virtually any part of the landscape. It is especially useful in full or part sun, where the foliage color is superb. However, it will even grow in a shady part of the garden. Of course, the leaf color is not nearly as vibrant and it does not flower as well. Heavenly Bamboo is a very popular plant in Japanese gardens, because of its leaf texture and color. In the Japanese home garden this plant will often be found near the front or back door, as they consider it the ‘friendship plant’. If the plant can be used in the garden near night lights, it will cast a beautiful silhouette. The plant has added value in that it provides cut branches for use in floral arrangements.
