    A vigorous selection, making a fine 5-6' hedge, whose narrow leaves, red-spotted in fall, become an over-all bright red during winter. S-PSh/M

    Umpqua Chief' is a large nandina that can eventually reach seven feet. It has intense purplish-red colouration in the winter foliage. Clusters of small white summer flowers give way to bright orange-red winter fruit. Not a bamboo at all but a non-invasive relative of Mahonia, the Oregon grape. Nandinas are incredibly versatile and useful evergreen shrubs with great foliage interest. Full shade right up to full sun!
