Nandina domestica Blushpink

Originally from China, from where it spread to Japan. A semi-evergreen shrub that grows to a height of about 0.8 m. The new shoots are in pink shades, later turning green, and in autumn they take on a pink-burgundy color. Its leaves are uniquely pinnate, narrowly elliptic, similar to bamboo. It likes a sunny, semi-shaded spot and well-structured soil. Its water needs are moderate. Frost-hardy down to -14C; it is advisable to plant it in a sheltered spot. A perfect choice for Zen gardens or other Asian-style designs, it can be planted as a specimen but also in combination with other plants, making it a striking element of the garden.
