Commonly called heavenly bamboo, Nandina domestica, is a broadleaf evergreen shrub that is grown for its interesting foliage and bright red berries. Native to Japan, China and India, this shrub is also at home here in the Barton Arboretum in a number of Courtyard Gardens, including Nine, Eleven and Twelve. The plant’s tiny white flowers appear in late spring, and are followed by the sprays of red berries which currently provide winter interest.
A wonderful burst of color for this time of the year!
