Nandina 'Gulf Stream' - 1 Gallon (Nandina domestica 'Gulf Stream')

Details: Nandina domestica 'Gulf Stream' is one of the best compact shrubs for year-round foliage interest. It features a variety of leaf colors on a fairly dense, evergreen plant. New growth is bronze with orange tints. Older leaves range from blue-green to gold and red. GPP member Richie Steffen recommends it for its great red- and orange-toned winter color. 'Gulf Stream' is a tough plant, tolerant of urban conditions. Unlike other heavenly bamboos, it is bushy and compact, reaching only 2.5 to 3 feet high. It makes a fine informal hedge or can be used as a foundation planting. It can also be used in containers or in the mixed border. Complement the dissected leaves of heavenly bamboo with large-leafed evergreen shrubs such as David's viburnum or rhododendrons. The barks of paperbark maple and Chinese red birch pick up the tones of 'Gulf Stream' and make it shine.
