Nandina,
renowned for its excellent foliage colour and spectacular red berries is an evergreen, attractive shrub that can add an elegant touch to your garden.
During spring, the shrub produces a profusion of white flowers with golden
anthers at the tip of the branches. Being rich in nectar, these plants attract
bees and other pollinators to your garden. The flowers mature to form a cluster
of green berries that ripen to intense red colour. The young leaves appear pink
to red in spring before turning green, while old leaves turn red or purple
before falling.
