Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Perhaps the most spectacular and certainly the most unique of the nandinas, 'Plum Passion' is deep purplish red when in new growth, deep green in summer and rich reddish-purple in fall and winter. 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 interest from foliage texture and colours. Full shade right up to full sun!
