Nandina, often known as “sacred bamboo” (though it isn’t a true bamboo), has long been admired in Australian gardens for its evergreen foliage and reliable performance. At Online Plants, your trusted plants nursery in Melbourne, we are proud to offer an extensive range of Nandina plants that are carefully grown to thrive in local conditions. Their dense and tidy growth habit also makes them a versatile option, perfect for borders, low hedges, pots, or as a feature shrub in both formal and informal garden designs.

Whether you want to add vibrant seasonal colour, create neat landscaping borders, or simply enjoy the low-maintenance beauty of this plant, Nandina is an ideal choice for all garden styles.

Why Choose Nandina for Your Garden?

Nandina stands out for its ability to adapt to various garden settings. Its compact and upright habit makes it suitable for smaller spaces, courtyards, and townhouse gardens, while larger varieties can be used in expansive landscapes. These plants also perform beautifully in both sun and partial shade, giving you flexibility when planning your garden.

Another benefit of Nandina is its minimal care requirements. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires little more than occasional watering during extended dry periods. Light pruning can be done to maintain shape, but generally, Nandina naturally grows into a neat, bushy form.

Stunning Foliage and Seasonal Colour

One of the most appealing qualities of Nandina Domestica is its constantly changing foliage. Younger leaves often emerge with a soft pink or bronze tint before maturing into a rich green. As the cooler months arrive, the foliage transforms into brilliant shades of red, orange, and burgundy, adding a fiery splash of colour to the winter garden.

This natural colour shift means you don’t need to rely solely on flowering plants for seasonal interest. Nandina delivers decorative value through its foliage all year round, complemented by small white flowers in summer and bright red berries in autumn on some varieties.

Popular Varieties of Nandina

At Online Plants, we stock a wide range of Nandina varieties to suit different garden styles and preferences. Compact types are perfect for low hedges or pot displays, while taller selections provide structure and height in borders. Many of the new hybrids have been bred for even denser foliage, richer colours, and improved adaptability to Australian conditions.

Some popular options include dwarf forms that are excellent for edging or defining pathways, and mid-sized varieties that deliver a bold burst of colour as feature plants. With such a diverse range available, you’ll find a Nandina to match any garden vision.

Planting and Care Tips

Nandina is easy to grow, even for beginner gardeners. Choose a position with full sun to partial shade and ensure the soil is well-drained. Adding organic matter or compost at planting will encourage strong root development and healthy growth. Regular mulching around the base helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and protect roots from extreme temperatures.

While Nandina is naturally hardy, occasional feeding with a slow-release fertiliser will keep foliage vibrant and encourage seasonal colour. Pruning is rarely needed but can be done after winter to freshen up the plant and encourage new shoots.
