Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Evergreen, fine-textured shrub with upright stems that resemble bamboo. Leaves are delicate, glossy green in summer and reddish purple in winter. Pinkish flowers in the spring mature into red berries by the fall and persist through the winter.
One of the larger Nandinas, to 6-8' (though it can easily be pruned) with broad, bamboo-like leaflets that turn a brilliant red in winter. Sun-PSh/Med
Green leaves turn red-purple in fall, white flowers, red berries evergreen, deer resistant. Zones 6-9.
Taller growing, this one will reach about 6' over time. The red pigment forms in the leaves even in milder winter southern states where red tinged purple foliage has been observed. Pink flowers and red fruits appear, with the fruits showing color ahead of most forms.

Evergreen shrub, taller than some, to 6 ft tall x 3-5 ft wide, with green foliage that turns many shades of dark red in autumn, a great backdrop for the red fruit that follows the pink summer flowers. Best in rich soil, in sun to part shade with summer water -- though tolerates occasional drought once established. Frost hardy to -10F, USDA zone 6.
Rich red winter color on the graceful horizontal leaves. White flowers followed by bead-like orange fruit. 6' tall x 2' wide evergreen. Serviceable.
