Nandina domestica Blush Pink - Sacred Bamboo - Plant in 2 L Pot

Nandina originates from China and Japan and is an unusual monotipic genus (only plant in it's genus) which is frequently referred to as a type of Bamboo. This is quite misleading as the plant has no relationship to Bamboo, well except the fact they are both plants! It is a member of the same family as Berberis. Nandina domestica Blush Pink arose as a sport of Firepower in Texas USA. in 2004. Nandina domestica Blush Pink has broader leaves that emerge a striking pink before turning a fresh, light green. Can be used in a mixed planting, as a central specimen plant or in a container. If planting in a pot or other container. Use a good quality John Innes compost as this plant will be there a long time and peaty types of compost eventually degrade and become too packed and choke the roots. Ensure you feed regularly as a hungry plant is a poor performer. We recommend Osmoscote pro 8-9 month applied in the early spring. One application gives all the nutrients the plant requires for the whole year. John Innes is a soils based compost. Nandina are regarded as hardy in the Uk. except in the very coldest locations.
