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.
